Abstract

Purpose of Study : The purpose of this essay is to explore the tasks for Christian education as a posthuman practical theology, with a focus on the discussions surrounding transhumanism, posthumanism, and critical posthumanism. Research Content and Method : To achieve this purpose, this essay performs a literature-based, interdisciplinary conversation that focuses on transhumanism and posthumanism discourses. It also examines these posthuman theories from a transversal disciplinary dialogue between posthumasnism and theology with a focus on technology and ecology. This essay employs roughly methodology of practical theology to propose tasks for Christian education. Conclusions and Suggestions : In conclusion, the tasks for Christian education as a posthuman practical theology include: first, research and interpretation of posthuman contexts with a descriptive-empirical approach; second, posing biblical and theological norms for posthuman telos; third, inter-subjectivity and faith formation through the networking entanglement and becoming; fourth, establishing a theory-practice relationship based on theopoiesis; fifth, forming the church as a symbiotic educational community; and sixth, reconfiguring public paideia toward the zoe of the Kingdom of God as the common good.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 트랜스휴머니즘과 포스트휴머니즘 그리고 이에 대한 비판적 담론에 기초하여 신학과의 대화를 시도하고, 포스트휴먼 실천신학으로서 기독교교육학이 수행해야 할 과제를 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 본 연구는 문헌 중심 연구로 이루어지며 학제적 대화를 지향한다. 먼저, 융합학제적 관점에서 트랜스휴머니즘과 포스트휴머니즘 담론들을 고찰하며, 신학적 관점에서 기술과 생태에 초점을 맞추어 횡단적 대화를 시도한다. 제언에서는 실천신학의 방법론을 원용하여 기독교 교육학과의 대화를 시도한다. 결론 및 제언 : 본 연구를 통하여 도출된 포스트휴먼 실천신학으로서 기독교교육학이 수행해야 할 과제는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 포스트휴먼 상황에 대한 기술-경험적 연구와 해석 작업, 둘째, 포스트 휴먼 텔로스(telos)에 대한 성서적·신학적 규범 제시, 셋째, 함께 얽힘의 관계망과 되어감을 통한 상호적 주체성과 신앙형성, 넷째, 테오포에시스(theopoiesis)에 기초한 이론-실천 관계 정립, 다섯째, 공생 교육 공동체로서의 교회 형성, 여섯째, 공동선으로서의 하나님 나라의 조에(zoe)를 지향하는 공적 파이데이아의 재구성 등이다.
