  • Objective The purpose of this study is to reveal the universal truthfulness of Sasang Constitutional Medicine from the perspective of the perennial philosophy and the integral psychology. Methods Aldous Huxley's The perennial philosophy and Ken Wilber's Literature of integral psychology such as A Brief History of Everything was compared with "Gyukchigo(格致藁)" and "Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)". Also investigated the literature of various countries related to constitution(temperament). Results and Conclusions 1.

  • This paper examines gender trouble in the future society from Huxley's Brave New World, in which science is highly developed. In addition, I examined how gender equality was achieved in the World State in which equality and identity were emphasized, and considered the precise meaning of gender equality. Superficially, there are many gender inequality factors in the Reservation, and gender equality is achieved in the World State. However, if we look closely at the World State, we realize that they deprive individual rights under the name of social stability. Therefore, we should reconsider what real gender equality is, and we need to examine what is needed to achieve gender equality.

  • The movie "Beautiful Mind" directed by Ron Howard is about a genius global mathematician, John Nash's life. In the movie, the main actor, John Nash is a schizophrenic patient who suffers from hallucination and delusion, and his illusion appears as three distinct characters. Each researcher has had a different opinion on the interpretation of these three characters, but many parts of their opinions are losing consistency. Especially the girl is assumed to be a character from the main actor's hallucination because she is ageless or there is no interpretation of the girl. Although the director Ron Howard did not adopt Aldous Huxley's theory "the more you know the more you see" for the movie, he analyzed the characters in the way of his own with thinking that he can analyze them in accordance with the knowledge level of audience. The imaginary characters come out from John Nash's head and who he wants to be. They are the basic human needs, earthly desire, sexual desire and the desire for honor. John Nash minutely reflects these three kinds of desires in an imaginary world through the three characters. This thesis is to newly suggest the symbolic meaning of the imaginary characters in the movie by clearly analyzing the meaning of the controversial three characters.
