과학과 형이상학은 포퍼에게서는 분명히 구별된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 전형적인 형이상학적 이론인 실재론, 비결정론, 출현이론은 과학 활동의 전제 조건으로 수용된다 하지만 폴라니에게서는 과학과 형이상학이 서로 다른 차원으로 분리되지 않는다. 형이상학적 믿음은 과학 자체의 구조를 이루고 있다. 과학은 형이상학적 개념이라 할 수 있는 진리, 선, 미, 정의 등의 본질적 가치에 따라 현실의 드러냄을 목적으로 삼는 인간의 통합적 행위이다. 다라서 폴라니에게 형이상학은 두 가지의 차원을 갖는다. 한편으로 형이상학에는 주관적인 차원이 있다. 도덕적 태도, 지적 열정, 이론의 미적 차원에 대한 감각, 종교적 관점 등 주체로서의 인간의 자기 이해와 관련된 차원이 있다. 진리에 대한 열정과 현실의 의미 추구를 자신의 과학적 활동의 본질적 부분으로 볼 수 있는 과학자는 바로 그 자체는 하나의 훌륭한 형이상학자가 되는 것이다.

Whitehead's metaphysics and philosophy of nature rest on his awareness of the metaphysical problem of the relation between "I", the "creative advance" and forces of the universe. Whitehead attempted to systematize human experience of the world based on logical explorations. In this context it is important to note that his discussion of proposition and language is closely connected with his works on a systematic theory of nature. Whitehead proposes a metaphysical concept of proposition also based on the creative advance of the universe. His theory of proposition is designed to show that human language is constructions of the relations between logical and real events in the creative universe which refer to a particular point of view. In this view, a variety of verbal possibilities in the multiple worlds can be realized in the same proposition. For Whitehead the emergence of novelty in the function of proposition is an essential property of the creative universe. This paper will try to give a discussion to Whitehead's theory of proposition with regard to the emergence of nature. Especially I emphasize in this paper Whitehead's idea and meaning of proposition for the development of the creative advance of nature as one aspect of particular importance.

This paper's purpose is to seek to grasp how Descartes demonstrates proofs of God's existence on the basis of his works especially Meditations. To consider these points, I shall explore first, second, third proofs that are present in his works, and contents related to God. Descartes argues that there is idea of God within me, but it is God, which is first proof. On the basis of this fact, Descartes shows only God is the cause of thinking self who has idea of God(second proof), both of them are called Cosmological argument. To investigate this, at first he states that representative reality that is different from formal reality sets a kind of hierarchy, the degree of this reality is equally applied to cause and effect, consequently to the cause of my idea or existence(God). From Meditation V, third proof which is called Ontological argument, Descartes examined a supremely perfect God can't be separated from God's existence(perfection) just as surly as the certainty of any shape or number, for example triangle, namely it is quite evident that God's existence includes his essence. Through these processes I shall examine following points: the way of having Descartes' proofs of God's existence itself is not only exposed, God's existence who guarantees cogito ergo sum which is never doubted, despite doubting all things that is outside, is but also postulated; Proofs for the existence of God are an ultimate source of ensuring the clear and distinct perception of human reason, Descartes uses reason suitable for non-christians instead of faith suitable for Christians for these methods, which are similarities with the traditional views on the one hand, but nevertheless there are some of discontinuities establishing authority or power of the first philosophical principle to which God is subjected, on the other.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine ontology of digital photo image based on a Simulacre concept of Gilles Deleuze & Jean Baudrillard. Traditionally, analog image follows the logic of reproduction with a similarity with original target. Therefore, visual reality of analog image is illuminated, interpreted, and described in a subjective viewpoint, but does not deviate from the interpreted reality. However, digital image does not exist physically but exists as information that is made of mathematical data, a digital algorithm. This digital image is that newness of every reproduction, that is, essence of subject 'once existing there' does not exist anymore, and does not instruct or reproduce an outside target. Therefore, digital image does not have the similarity and does not keep the index instruction ability anymore. It means that this digital image is converted into a virtual area, and this is not reproduction of already existing but display of not existing yet. This not-being of digital image changes understanding of reality, existence, and imagination. Now, dividing it into reality and imagination itself is meaningless, and this does not make digital image with technical improvement but is a new image that is basically completely different from existing image. Eventually, digital image of the day passes step to visualize an existent target, nonexistent things have been visualized, and reality operates virtually. It means that digital image does not reproduce our reality but reproduces other reality realistically. In other words, it is a virtual reproduction producing an image that is not related to a target, that is to say Simulacre. In the virtually simulated world, reality has an infinite possibility, and it is not a picture of the past and present and has a possibility as the infinite virtual that is not fixed, is infinitely mutable, and is not actualized yet.

Presence, flow, and arousal are interesting user experiences provided by video and people's demand for media which responds to personal interest is getting strong. This research compares video watching and game play by conducting a survey and measuring brain wave to find out the difference of those user experiences in the two media. As a result, all the three user experiences were proved to be significantly higher in game play than video watching. And those EEG frequencies which are known to be related to the state of flow were also measured higher scalp distribution of the game play group. Finally, presence, arousal, and EEG(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\delta}$) were found to have influence on the flow state in game play. This research is intended to prove above relations by experiment and make a contribution to the theoretical and methodological improvement in the related area.

The purpose of this thesis is to study on the philosophical analysis model and its methodological application of information systems research evaluation from critical realist perspective. Fist of all, I examine ontological epistemological methodological assertions of critical realism. Because the philosophy of critical realism is an opportunity for information systems study. I examine Dobson and Mutch's critical realist perspective on actors-structure model. I suggest a critical realist actors-praxis-structure model. This model provides the potential for a new approach to social investigations in its provision of an ontology for the analytical separation of structure and agency. Of most importance might be the incorporation of non-humans into the analysis of social interaction and of technology into the elaboration of structures. I also examine Tsoukas's critical realistic meta-theory of management. I suggest a critical realist IS management model. This model elucidate the nature of management and delineate the scope of applicability of various perspectives on management. The causal powers of management reside in the real domain and, taken together, their logics are contradictory, the effects of their contradictory composition are contingent upon prevailing contingencies. I analyze Carlsson's theory of design knowledge. His framework builds on that the aim of IS design science research is to develop practical knowledge for the design and realization of different classes of IS initiatives, where IS are viewed as socio-technical systems and not just IT artefacts. The framework proposes that the output of IS design science research is practical IS design knowledge in the form of field-tested and grounded technological rules. The IS design knowledge is developed through an IS design science research cycle. In conclusion, I think that IS actors-praxis-structure model, meta-theoretical IS management model, and IS design knowledge model according to critical realistic approach are very useful for IS research evaluation. Nevertheless, important problems are left not resolved.

Die vorliegende Untersuchung zielt darauf ab, erstens die Entstehung der $Fr{\ddot{u}}hromantik$ in Bezug auf damalige Kantkritik zu betrachten, zweites Jacobis Gedanke, der die Bewegung der $Fr{\ddot{u}}hromantik$ $ansto{\ss}t$, mittels seines Zentralbegriffs "Unbedingtes" und "$Gef{\ddot{u}}hls$" zu rekonstruieren und drittens den Kerngedanke der $Fr{\ddot{u}}hromantik$, der die unendliche $Ann{\ddot{a}}herung$ betont, durch Novalis zu $erl{\ddot{a}}utern$. $F{\ddot{u}}r$ Jacobi wird das Unbedingte als "Glaube" angesehen, weil es nicht nur der $M{\ddot{o}}glichkeitsgrund$ des Wissens ist, sondern die Vermittlung des Wissens ${\ddot{u}}berschreitet$. $W{\ddot{a}}hrend$ es die Bedingung des Wissens ist, ist es das "Sein", das den Bereich des $Bewu{\ss}tseins$ transzendiert. Somit Jacobis "Unbedingte" bzw. "Ur-Sein" ist nicht nur die Grundlage des metaphysischen Monismus, sondern die realistische Substrat, die auf den Bereich des Wissens nie reduziert wird. $F{\ddot{u}}r$ Novalis wird das Unbeclingte dem $Bewu{\ss}tsein$ nicht gegeben, vielmehr ist es der Gegenstand der Sehnsucht und des Strebens. Hier wird die Philosophie als unendliche $Ann{\ddot{a}}herung$ zum Unbedingten bestimmt. Philosophie ist sowohl die $urspr{\ddot{u}}ngliche$ $T{\ddot{a}}tigkeit$ des mit dem Transzendeten $ber{\ddot{u}}hrenden$ $Gef{\ddot{u}}hls$ als der unendliche Trieb, der den Grund zu erkennen versucht.

Following $G\ddot{o}del's$ own arguments, this paper explores his views on mathematics, its object, and mathematical intuition. The major claim is that we simply cannot classify the $G\ddot{o}del's$ view as robust Platonism or realism, since it is conceivable that both Platonistic ontology and intuitionistic epistemology occupy a central place in his philosophy and mathematics.

What are the meanings of abduction as a methodology of Cultural Studies? By contextualizing Charles Sanders Peirce's logic of abduction in the discipline of Cultural Studies, I explore the epistemological discussion on the modern scientific research methodology of social sciences. Abduction is a kind of logical inference, which is often associated with guessing or intuition. Peirce's method of abduction and Cultural Studies' contextual formation in effect address an alternative methodology to positivism. Criticizing the modern Eurocentric structure of knowledge construction, I suggest that the virtue of abduction, as a logic of discovery, should be re-discovered in the context of Cultural Studies. Abduction holds important lessons for Cultural Studies as well as social sciences in general because of its focus on intuition, empathy, and intellectual collaboration. Through its elaboration of the logic of abduction, Cultural Studies is able to maintain not only its epistemological ground but also its methodological communicability.

In a essay that was published on 'Science' in December 2014 as a part of the supplement "The Art and Science of Traditional Medicine," the eastern and western medical theories are discussed with reference to the model-dependent realism suggested by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. This paper examines what the model-dependent realism is, and how it affects the future direction of researches in traditional Korean medical theories. The model-dependent realism holds a meaning in that it puts traditional medical theories in a perspective of models, and allows for application of recent studies in scientific philosophy for researches in traditional medical theories. Especially, the model studies by R. Giere et al. will help elaborate the traditional medical theories from a model perspective. From a model perspective, the 'visceral manifestation', 'meridian and collateral', 'qi-blood', 'eight principles' and 'constitution' theories of traditional medicine have the potentials to develop into valid models, and the traditional medical theory's phenomenological and holistic perspective distinguishes it from western medicine, giving it a competitive edge. In addition, the epistemological pluralism of model-dependent realism can serve as an alternative to relativism or rationalism perspective which put eastern and western medicine in opposition until now.
