In "Lu's Spring and Autumn", the ideas of all the schools before Qin Dynasty were compiled and the diagram of the Trinity of heaven, earth and man using the category of Yin-yang and the five elements of the universe since the ancient times was established. This can be assessed to be the blueprint for a unified empire closely connecting time and space, and objects in heaven and on earth centered around human beings. In specific, Yin-yang and the five elements of the universe were combined to categorize and schematize all things in the universe, and connect them to human affairs at the same time. Its contents convert almost all academic fields including politics, economics, society, military, astronomy, geography, medical science, education and history. Particularly, the documents popular during the age of civil wars and the ideas of Jikha scholars were synthesized and specified. Yet, it went beyond simple collection of the thoughts and documents since the ancient times in terms of contents and forms, and the method of 12 months for 1 year was selected and prescript was expanded to the various fields of politics and the society. In the Twelve principle, Yin-yang and the five elements, and the ten celestial stems and the earthly ones were combined, the contradiction from the process was solved, and the Rules of Four Seasons Thought was completed. Therefore, even though some parts of the idea of Yin-yang and the five elements in "Lu's Spring and Autumn" is found here and there from other documents, the unificative systematization of the whole has an important meaning in the history of thought. In summary, it has been proved that the Rules of Four Seasons Thought in "Lu's Spring and Autumn" was not limited to the physical unity of Yin-yang and the five elements of the universe, but qualitatively specified particularly in the aspects of agriculture from the people's side and politics from a leader's position.

Both in the East and the West, the most classical question in political philosophy was 'what is truly a good life?' 'Good life' and 'good politics' are thus essentially tied together. Mencius (孟子, B.C385-303/302) was not exception to this belief. It is not an exaggeration that his Mencius, the treatise that encapsulates his whole views, begins and ends with good life and good politics. He began with new definitions of good life and politics and the rest elaborates why they are so. This paper attempts to systematically approach to what Mencius thinks as a good life in terms of political thoughts. Confucius, his intellectual mentor, asserted that the most humane human life is a civilized life and it means to realize the value of 'Yin (仁: Grace)' and thus set his good life from previous ones. Mencius concurred that Confucius's explication of the good life was right. Moreover, he argued that to realize this, political practice should follow. The 'good life' for Mencius consists of 1) the life in which the ruler does not monopolize joy but shares it with people, that is '$Y{\breve{o}}mindongrak$(與民同樂)' or '$Y{\breve{o}}minhaerak$(與民偕樂)' and 2) the life, based on this political foundation, that pursues the life of 'Five Ethics (五倫)' in which each individual member of society has its share in it. Mencius discussed about 'Four Virtues (四德)', the essential goodness of human, confirmed by 'Four Clues (四端)' to talk about the possibility of realizing the good life. On the other hand, he devised the political device of '$YinJ{\breve{o}}ng$ (仁政: Gracious Politics)' as a practical tool for it. Furthermore, he asserted 'Good people theory (養民論)' as the first condition for the good politics, '$YinJ{\breve{o}}ng$' and 'Education of people theory (敎民論)' as the final one. As Mencius inherited Confucius effort for a good life with the theory of '$YinJ{\breve{o}}ng$', the so-called Zhuxi scholars inherited his as 'Sugichiin (修己治人: cultivate yourself and then order society)' after 1500.

In the beginning of the 20th century, post-colonialism has directly raised questions about western-centered universalism. One of its main achievements is that the political liberation of a colonial society does not guarantee the social, economic and cultural liberation of a society. Therefore, the discourse of liberation in the Western society, in particular, Marxism, nationalism, feminism and postmodernism, cannot be directly applied to the non-Western society. As a result, Western and non-Western societies are unfortunately dreaming of different futures and liberation; therefore, a'geopolitical dialogue' is needed between them. However, the theorists' efforts for postcolonial liberation failed to distinguish themselves from the western-centric traditions. It is also true that they have, in conjunction with these traditions, established their own power. As we know, many of the postcolonial criticisms somehow had relations with the West. This study will re-read the postcolonial thought of $Aim{\acute{e}}$ $C{\acute{e}}saire$, the father of the so-called $N{\acute{e}}gritude$, as a 'non-western resistance discourse'. Through this process, we have a chance to reflect on $C{\acute{e}}saire$ and his postcolonial thoughts.

지금까지 서양의학의 도입이란 측면에서만 조명되어온 정약용의 의학사상은 이제 한의학 이론의 발전과정이라는 새로운 관점에서 재조명할 필요가 있다. "의령(醫零)"에서 나타나는 그의 의학사상에는 미끼 사카에가 지적한 바와 같이, 음양오행론(陰陽五行論)에 입각한 "소문(素問)"의 병리론과 음양(陰陽)으로 논해온 '근시(近視)'에 대한 기존 이론에 대해 서학(西學)의 사행설(四行說)과 갈렌생리학, 그리고 광학이론을 가지고 비판을 가한 측면이 있다. 그러나, 좀 더 자세하게 검토해 보면 이런 서학(西學)의 영향은 정약용의 의학사상을 구성하는데 있어서 부분에 불과할 뿐만 아니라 그가 구상하고 있던 새로운 철학을 위해 취사선택된 것임을 알 수 있다. "육기론(六氣論)"에서 제시되는 사정설(四情說)의 경우, 서학의 사행설(四行說)을 그대로 답습한 것이 아니라 자신의 주역(周易)철학의 소산이다. 서학(西學) 뿐만 아니라 명대(明代)의 온보학파(溫補學派) 특히 장경악(張景岳) 의학사상의 영향도 주목해야 한다. "의령(醫零)"에서 논의된 의론(醫論)의 상당부분에서 장경악(張景岳)의 "전충록(傳忠錄)"과의 연관성이 상당히 많이 발견된다. 그러나 장경악(張景岳)이론의 정치(精緻)한 면에 대해서 찬사를 보내고 있지만, 그의 숭고주의(崇古主義)와 정치(精緻)한 음양오행(陰陽五行)에 대한 논의에 대해서도 동의한 것은 아니다. 정약용은 서학(西學)과 장경악(張景岳)을 비롯한 온보학파의 의학사상을 종합한 토대위에서, 즉 원기(元氣)의 운행(運行)이란 관점으로 의학을 재구성하려는 시도를 했다고 평가된다. "육기론(六氣論)"에서 시작된 육기병리설(六氣病理說)에 대한 비판은 "외감론(外感論)"에서 "이증론(裡證論)"을 거쳐 "허실론(虛實論)"으로 이어지면서 오행상극설(五行相剋說)에 의거한 병인론, 삼음삼양론(三陰三陽論)에 의거한 경락장부론(經絡臟腑論), 내외상론(內外傷論)을 모두 반박하면서 이러한 새로운 의학을 건설하려 하였다. "허실론이(虛實論二)"에서 장경악(張景岳)의 "풍한적체(風寒積滯), 담음어혈지속(痰飮瘀血之屬), 기불행칙사불제(氣不行則邪不除), 차기지실야(此氣之實也)."라는 말을 인용한 점은 이런 점에서 시사하는 바가 크다.

It is generally accepted that the political philosophy of Merleau-Ponty is called western Marxism or existential phenomenological humanism. I would like to examine and orientate his political theory in detail in terms of embodiment. In what follows, I criticize its own conception of subjectivity as a philosophical basis of traditional politics from perspective of Merleau-Ponty's bodily phenomenology. In turn, alternatively I discuss Merleau-Ponty's basic idea of subjectivity. By drawing on his unique clarification of it, I approach and appreciate politics through the flesh. With the result of it, the embodiment of violence which is the permanent problem of politics is explained and disclosed distinctively. In conclusion, I might suggest what could be implicit in Merleau-Ponty's politics of flesh for Korean contemporary political issue i. I hope you relearn how to see political life in this paper.

is Plato's last great philosophical work. 'Nocturnal Council' is located in the end of this work. Many scholars interpret 'Nocturnal Council' into opposite directions. According to one interpretation, this Council is a kind of an addition to supplement the philosophical elements. So this is Plato's 'after-thought'. But another interpretation is that 'Nocturnal Council' is a climax in Plato's political thought. Plato didn't abandon the theory of Idea in . In this respect, we find a coherence between and . Finally, a vague position of 'Nocturnal Council' in remains an opposite interpretations each other.

Gubong Song Ik-pil could not behave according to his aspiration directly due to restrictions in his social standing. Despite that, he actually did so indirectly through either close friends or younger students by exhibiting 'cheobyeonwigwon (處變爲權) with the goal of jichijuui (至治主義). He insisted on people-oriented politics grounded on cheonmyeongsasang (天命思想) and also suggested the humbleness of the royal family and jinhyulchaek (賑恤策) based on love of the people. In addition, he promoted public welfare and stability to enhance patriotism and also insisted on the policy of strengthening national defense with seoeolgongsacheon (庶?公私賤)'s provision of military service through the enforcement of yangcheonjongbujongmobeop (良賤從父從母法). Also, according to the letter sent to Lee San-bo, he suggested public service ethics, for instance, personally, getting rid of ulterior motives, exhibiting diligence, integrity, and wisdom, and doing one's utmost to handle tasks fairly without causing any problems and externally, being actively involved in managing and utilizing persons of ability and also relieving the poor and managing masters as well. In brief, we can assume that Song Ik-pil's thought of statecraft (經世思想) is the concrete methodology to reach the politics of kingcraft called 'jichi (至治)' by stabilizing public welfare grounded on benevolent and benign administration. He is often compared to Jegalryang on account of his innate qualities and cleverness. He was equipped with the excellent capacity of gyeongse even referred to as the moju (謀主) of four persons, Yi Yi, Seong Hon, Jeong Cheol, and Lee Gwi, and harshly criticized as a slick evil (奸鬼), too. His gyeongsesasang, however, ended up being incomplete due to restrictions in his social status. He was a person who loved the people more than anyone else, kept suggesting innovative reform plans to stabilize the people's lives, and was capable of practicing them all. His ideal of jichi was left unfulfilled, however.

본 연구는 홍명희의 "임거정(林巨正)"에 나타난 정치성을 연구한 것이다. 주된 논의는 랑시에르의 이론을 원용하여 크게 네 가지 방향에서 이루어졌다. 핵심 키워드는 탈봉건적 민중언어, 평등사상, 서사의 확장, 반시대적 자유인을 들 수 있다. 랑시에르가 지적했듯이 예술을 통한 감성의 분할은 사유의 특권을 가진 집합의 경계를 무너뜨릴 수 있기에, 기존 체제에 '불화'와 '불일치'를 가져온 실존 인물을 다룬 "임거정(林巨正)" 이에 적합한 텍스트로 볼 수 있을 것이다.

Uncovering ideological trends and varieties embedded in contemporary progressive librarianship, the depth and breath of the librarians' thoughts should be more expandable than before. That is the purpose of the study. To accomplish the purpose, this study analyzed key ideologies of American progressive librarian Zoia M. Horn(1918-2014) as reviewing carefully her biography with the inductive approach for qualitative data analysis. As a result, author suggests that the core values of Z.M. Horn's library freedom ideologies have identified as equality, intellectual freedom, and pacifism. In addition, the ingredients of these core ideologies also were identified.
