Objectives : This paper aims to analyze the origins of the pathogenic qi[邪氣] concept through analysis of related character shapes and examples within the Mawangdui Yishu, where we can grasp the state of medicine pre-Huangdineijing. Methods : Etymology was determined through ancient character analysis, while examples of its usage and original texts were compared to extract their implications. For usage analysis, medical texts of later periods that contained similar verses or contents with the Mawangdui text were compared, through which similarities and changes in meaning of the word or verse were examined. Conclusions : While the term 'xieqi(邪氣, pathogenic qi)' had not yet been mentioned in the Mawangdui text, 'eqi(惡氣)' was used similarly. Wind[風], cold[寒], dampness[濕] were not only understood as terms referring to weather or climate but possible causes for disease. Meanwhile, there was lingering belief from the Shang(商) period that saw disease as God's punishment, which could be seen as transition phenomenon from superstition to rational thought. Through diseases 'wind disease[風病]' and 'bi(痹)', we could determine that medicine at the time was limited to the Yin-yang theory, having not yet integrated the Five phases perspective. Moreover, the possibility of other pathogenic qi elements, 'heat[暑]', 'dryness[燥]', and 'fire[火]' could be assumed to have been embedded in 'wenbing(溫病)'.

There are various understandings how to define death. In the context of medicine, death is defined as the irreversible change of the tissue according to the cessation of circulation and respiration. According to the psychologists, a person need to accept the finiteness as a human being and remain conscious that the death is not avoidable. And they say if a person doesn't regard death as unavoidable reality of life he or she will not confront the humanistic death and after all will die like animals. In philosophy, death is viewed as an unwelcome reality in the end of the journey of life. Sociologists usually understand that the society is the organization composed with living persons and human beings which construct and transmit the culture from generation to generation between the both ends of life and death. In society, the generation is changed, maintained, and developed through the phenomenon of death. Although death of human being is natural event in society, the death of a specific person brings a sense of loss, crisis, and anxiety to the communities like family, regional society, nation, and the world. In this context, death is not confined to personal dimension and it can be regarded as a social problem. It is valuable to summarize the religious perspectives on the meaning of death for the better hospice care. In shamanism, there are basic idea that although the flesh of human being disappears, soul never die. If human dies, the flesh of human being disappears but soul never disappear and come back to the origin of soul as it is called chaos. So in shamanism, it is said that shaman can solve the mortified feeling, restore the broken harmony, send the soul to comfortable space- the origin, and guarantee the blessing of descendents. Buddhists regard the death as an essential component through the cycles of life. Through this cycle, human being exits as an endlessly transmigrating being and the death is just a restoration to the original status. In Confucianism, the view on the death based on the philosophy of the "Yin and Yang" and "Five elements". In Buddhist tradition, many believers said the philosophy of "Death is the same as life". Unlike usual thoughts that a god governs "life and death" and "fortune and misfortune", Confucianists deny the governance of a god and emphasize the natural orders in which every phenomenon in the world moves according to the principle. Confucianists understand the death as a natural order with this principle. In Confucianists' belief, the essence of human being remains in their own descendent's lives after the death of ancestor, so in Confucianism there is no concept of immortality of the soul. In the history of Christianity, death has been defined generally as the separation of the immortal soul from the mortal body. In the earlier days of Old Testament, the death is regarded as a disappearance of just a flesh and human never disappear and always live in the relationship with God. Later days in Old Testament, we can find the growing concern for the life after the death because of the entrance of the theodicy. In the New Testament, the death is not regarded as the normal process of the human life and regarded as the abnormal status in which death come to human because of sin as a decisive factor and it should be conquered. In fact, the most of us afraid death because not of the fear of death itself but of the sense of the emptiness and regrets. so many people often make the monument hoping to live forever. But Christian usually regard this behavior as a sinful act because human being usually think themselves as a master of their life and attempt to become immortal in this kind of trial mortal. But if we live with God, we cannot confront such a condition because we aware limits as a mortal human being and entrust everything on Him and want to live according to His guidance. Therefore, in the Christian tradition, the death is regarded as accomplishment of life, fruits of life, invitation to the eternal life, and the last stage of human growth. For human being, the death is the great step of maturation as a human in the final stage of life.

This study set out to compare and analyze the influences Kabbalah, which was Louis I. Kahn's faith as a Jew, on his architecture based on Freud's psychoanalysis that had many exchanges with modernism and contemporary architecture and theories. The specific goals of the study were to shed light to Kahn's presence in contemporary architecture anew and establish the methodology of using psychoanalysis in building new theories of architectural planning. When the theories of psychoanalysis were introduced for comparison and analysis purposes, Kahn tried to differentiate his buildings by placing a function or symbolic central space at the heart of a building even though he did adopt a characteristic of modernism architecture, which was placing a core at the centre of plan, for a while. Such a tendency of his was based on Jung's opinions rather than Freud's and affected by Ecole des Beaux-Art. The analysis results also indicate that he conceived "Served Space & Servant Space," "architecture of connection" and "silence and light" that made up the essence of his architectural theory from the relationships between Ayin-Sof, Kabbalah's absolute god, and Sefiroth. It's also very likely that his often use of triangles and circles in his architecture was affected by the Tree of Sefiroth diagram of Kabbalah. His tendency is well reflected in Salk Institute and Philips Exeter Academy Library, where he placed a laboratory or courtyard at the center where a core was supposed to be, created a corridor or courtyard space between those central spaces and the core, and connected them one another with to perceive the being of Ayin-Sof into an architectural space, which is well proven with Mikveh Israel Synagogue where he directly applied the Tree of Sefiroth diagram. The synagogue also contained a hollow column that served as an important concept in his late architecture. The hollow column was also the result of him applying the concept of Sefiroth of the place where Ayin-Sof Was reduced in Kabbalah.

Plato's philosophical importance in western thinking history cannot be understated. Especially his dichotomy system became common to the European traditions of philosophical and scientific discourses by assigning principal value to the presence that is opposed to the absence. Since the ancient Greeks, the concept of presence has been expressed itself in number of ways such as God, Truth, Logos, and center. Derrida called this European thinking "the metaphysics of presence." In order to analyze logocentrism also called the metaphysics of presence in No Telephone to Heaven, I used the term, paralogy that Aristotle did not accept as rules of argumentation but that Lyotard revived it positively as the principle of reason. Lyotard's incredulity towards rationalist theory of modernism is that knowledge can never be certain. Without any ultimate validity, certainty is impossible. Nevertheless, as Fanon said, the colonial world is dominated with a traditional Manichaean world. As a result what remains to the colonized to establish their identities is that of an armed struggle towards the colonizer even though they know it results in the vicious circle of hatred endlessly. Cliff attempted to show this message in her text through the tragic heroine, Clare Savage. Cliff's another critique of modernism's rationalism is shown through the ambiguous sexuality of Harry/Harriot. In this novel, gender plays also a central role by questioning the traditional binary system of sexuality. In this paper, I deconstructed this traditional gender system in terms of Bulter's concept of performitivity. This study will give the text another layer of deconstructive interpretation echoing with the proverb, one tree cannot make a forest.

'타자'는 주체의 권리 개념이 등장한 근대 서구 사상 이후 철학적으로 주요한 개념이다. 타자에 대한 여러 정의와 논의가 있었다. 본고에서는 '타자'를 정의 짓기보다는 '타자와의 관계 맺기'를 중심으로 바라보고자 한다. 특히 에마뉘엘 레비나스의 논의를 중심으로 '타자성과 윤리'에 주목하고자 한다. 레비나스는 타자에 대한 윤리적 책임을 강조하는데 이는 다문화 사회에 도래한 현 사회에서 소통의 패러다임으로 적용할 수 있다는 것에 의미가 있기 때문이다. '다름'에 대하여 경계-짓기보다는 타자의 다양성을 인정하고 공존을 도모하는 자세가 필요하다. 이때의 '공존'은 중심부로 포섭하여 중심부의 확대를 가져오는 형태가 아니라 탈중심을 통해 서로 연합되는 것이어야 한다. 본고에서는 서사에 재현되는 타자와의 공존의 양상을 분석하여 그 가능성을 밝히고자 한다. 서사란 인간의 근원적 욕망이자 경험을 구성하는 인지적 과정이다. 인간은 서사에 자신을 스스로 투사하고 이해하려 한다. 서사에 나타나는 타자성을 분석하여 타인에 대한 공존의 가능성을 살펴볼 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본고는 기예르모 델 토로의 을 텍스트로 하여 작품 내 캐릭터의 형상화 방식과 관계 맺기의 스토리텔링을 분석함으로써 공존의 가능성과 방향을 제언하고자 하였다.

AI의 윤리의식 문제는 국제적인 것이며 지속적으로 나타나고 있다. AI는 어린아이처럼 인간의 모든 것을 습득하고 모방한다. 그러므로 현재 우리가 AI에게 요구하는 윤리의식은 먼저 인간에게 요구되는 윤리의식이며, 그 중심에는 인간에 대한 존엄성이다. 이에 본고는 AI 기술의 발전에 따른 인간의 정체성과 그 문제를 분석하고, 인간 존엄성의 신학적 전제와 특성을 변증하여, 인간의 존엄성 교육의 방향을 모색하는 연구를 진행하였다. 첫째, AI의 발전과 인간에 대해 논하였다. AI 기술의 발전은 인류의 전유물로 여겨지든 '이성 혹은 지성'을 AI이라는 기계와 공유하게 되었다. 그래서 AI 기계보다 탁월하며, 구별되는 인간성에 대한 의문이 제기된다. 둘째, 트랜스휴머니즘과 인간의 정체성에 대해 논하였다. 트랜스휴머니즘은 비효율적인 인간의 지능 개선과 인간 능력 향상을 위해, AI 기계와 인간의 결합을 주장해 왔다. 하지만 인간과 AI 기계의 결합으로 인한 인간 정체성에 대한 문제가 심각하게 제기되었다. AI 시대, 인간의 정체성은 하나님이 우리를 지으실 때 품으셨던 마음을 믿는 것이다. 셋째, 인간의 존엄성에 대한 신학적인 전제와 특성을 변증하였다. 인간의 존엄성은 세계 각국의 헌법과 국제인권조약의 핵심적 개념이다. 하지만 인간이 존엄하다는 선언적인 확신은 신학적 전제 없이는 이해하기 힘든 주장이다. 인간 존엄성의 신학적 전제는 천부로부터 생명을 부여받은 존엄한 존재라는 것에 있다. 또한 그 특성은 인간의 '선'과 '영원성'에 대한 갈망, 아름다움의 추구, 관계 속에서 행복한 존재라는 것에 있다. 넷째, 인간의 존엄성 교육의 방향을 제시하였다. 인간 존엄성 교육의 방향은 인간은 어떤 존재이며, 어떻게 생겨났으며, 얼마나 소중한 존재인지 일깨워주고, 의식하고, 최고의 가치로 받아들이게 하는 것이다. 그것은 인간의 정체성을 교육하는 것이며, 그 핵심은 어떠한 형편이든 - 빈부격차, 지식정도, 피부색깔, 성별, 연령, 장애여부 등 - 관계없이 모든 사람은 하나님의 형상, 하나님의 영광을 위한 존재로서 하나님께 매우 중요한 존재라는 것에 있다.

'Fasting of the Mind (心齋, ch. xīn zhāi)' is arguably the most important concept within the practical approach to the spiritual cultivation formulated by the Daoist philosopher, Zhuangzi (莊子). Most scholars have interpreted 'Fasting of the Mind' as an apophatic practice centered around the aim of the 'Dissolution of the Self (喪我, ch. sàng wŎ).' The Korean new religious movement, Daesoon Jinrihoe (大巡眞理會), can be shown to instead consistently utilize cataphatic descriptions of spiritual cultivation based on the 'quieting of the mind (安心, kr. anshim)' and 'quieting of the body (安身, kr. anshin)' with the highest attainable state referred to as the 'Perfected State of Unification with the Dao (道通眞境, kr. Dotong-jingyeong).' While the language used by Zhuangzi and Daesoon Jinrihoe appears quite different on a superficial level, a deeper examination shows that these rhetorical framings are likely negativistic and positivistic descriptions of the same, or at least reasonably similar, phenomena. Zhuangzi, who focused primarily on the body, mind, and internal energy, cautioned practitioners that 'mere listening stops with the ears (聽止於耳, ch. tīng zhǐ yú ěr)' and 'mere recognition stops with the mind (心止於符, ch. xīn zhǐ yú fú).' He therefore encouraged cultivators of the Dao to 'listen with the spirit (聽之以氣 ch. tīng zhī yǐ qì).' The main scripture of Daesoon Jinrihoe states that "The mind is a pivot, gate, and gateway for gods; They, who turn the pivot, open, and close the gate, and go back and forth through the gateway, can be either good or evil (心也者, 鬼神之樞機也, 門戶也,道路也)," and the Supreme God of the Ninth Heaven (九天上帝, kr. Gucheon Sangje) even promises to visit anyone who possesses a 'singularly-focused mind (一心, kr. il-shim).' In both these approaches, there is a sense of what must be kept out of the mind (e.g., external disturbances, strong emotions, malevolent entities) and what the mind should connect with to attain spiritual progress (e.g., spirit, singular focus, the Supreme God). The observations above serve as the main basis for a comparison between the apophatic descriptions of cultivation found in Zhuangzi and their cataphatic counterparts in Daesoon Thought. However, the culmination of this nuanced comparative exploration reveals that while the leanings of Zhuangzi and Daesoon Thought generally hold true, ultimately, both systems of cultivation transcend the categories of apophatic and cataphatic.

연구 목적 : 본 논문은 어린이 예배에서 이루어지고 있는 이야기식 설교에 초점을 맞추어 이야기식 설교가 지니고 있는 기독교교육적 함의를 다루고자 한다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 이야기는 기독교교육의 중요한 교육방법으로 연구되어 왔다. 최근의 종교교육 논의에서 이야기는 시각적인 미디어와는 반대로 아이들만의 고유한 판타지를 자극한다는 의미에서, 그리고 얼굴과 얼굴을 맞댄 직접적인 커뮤니케이션이라는 측면에서 긍정적으로 평가되고 있다. 세상에 대한 우리의 가장 근원적이고 열정적인 지향은 이야기에 의해 빚어진다. 이야기는 우리에게 감동을 주어 마음을 움직이고 그에 따라 행동하도록 우리의 무의식을 형성해 가기 때문이다. 그러나 지금 아이들에게 이야기를 공급해주는 주체는 다양한 대중 매체와 소비문화이다. 그것이 전해주는 이야기는 세속적 세계관을 주입하고 하나님 나라와 전혀 다른 세상을 꿈꾸도록 한다. 우리 아이들에게는 하나님 나라를 상상할 수 있는 이야기가 필요하다. 어린이 예배에서 설교의 한 형태로서 이야기식 설교는 아이들에게 생생하게 이야기를 들려줄 수 있는 좋은 방법이다. 이에 본 논문은 어린이 예배에서 이루어지고 있는 이야기식 설교에 초점을 맞추어 이야기식 설교가 지니고 있는 기독교교육적 함의를 다루고자 한다. 문헌 연구를 통하여 우선 이야기에 대한 대략적인 개념과 성경을 이야기로 접근한 문학 비평의 입장에 따라 성경을 이야기로 다룰 것이다. 두 번째는 이야기식 설교에 대해 다룰 것이다. 우선 성인을 대상으로 하는 이야기식 설교에 대해 살펴보고 이어서 어린이를 위한 이야기식 설교를 다룰 것이다. 두 개의 이야기식 설교는 따로 구분돼 있다기 보다는 어린이의 특성을 고려한다는 의미에서 구분하여 다룰 필요가 있다. 마지막으로 이야기식 설교에 대한 기독교교육적 함의를 이끌어낼 것이다. 결론 및 제언 : 본 논문은 현재 어린이 예배에서 행해지고 있는 설교가 보다 더 이야기식 설교에 초점이 맞추어지길 기대하면서 거기에서 발견할 수 있는 기독교교육적 함의를 다루었다. 이야기식 설교를 통하여 아이들에게 참여적 배움의 길이 열리며 하나님과 자아와 타자에 대한 종교적 언어를 획득함으로 신앙의 성장에 도움을 얻을 수 있기를 기대한다.

Identifying the ontological characteristics of "ultimate reality" is highly important in a specific religion or thought because it is believed to contain the logic that explain the wholistic phenomenon in the entire universe. The "ultimate reality" is called "Lee(理)", "Dao(道)", "Taegeuk; the Great Ultimate(太極)", "Mugeuk; NonUltimate(無極)", "Gong(空)", "Haven", "SangJe(上帝)", "God" in many different religions or thoughts. Taegeuk(太極), Mugeuk(無極) and Daesoon(大巡) are believed to contain the logic that explain the wholistic phenomenon in the entire universe in Daesoon Thoughts which we can see in the GooCheon SangJe(九天上帝)'s saying that "Even if the logic is so high, it comes from the surface of Taegeuk and Mugeuk and cannot be separated from every phenomenon in our life(理雖高出於太極无極之表 不離乎日用事物之間)" and Doju(道主) Cho, Jeong San's saying that "The reasion that Dao is called Dao is that it is settled to be Mugeuk and moved to be Taegeuk(道之謂道也者定而无極 動而太極)" and Dojeon(都典) Park Wu-dang's saying that "Daesoon(大巡) is circle(圓), circle is Mugeuk(無極), Mugeuk is Taegeuk(太極)". Mugeuk contains the logic of transcendence and Taegeuk contains the logic of immanance. And Nae-confucianism admit the Ultimate Reality or logic have both characteries of Mugeuk and Taegeuk and don't admit that Taegeuk comes from Mugeuk. Therefore, Mugeuk and Taegeuk are in complementary relations. These Nae-confucianism's idea about Mugeuk and Taegeuk corresponds with Deasoon Thought. Daesoon Thoughts also admit that Ultimate Reality, GooCheon SangJe can be understood with both Mugeuk and Taegeuk. That is, GooCheon SangJe, the Suprime God is transcendent from this world(Mugeuk) and also manage the whole universe using the logic of Taegeuk(太極). Daesoon(大巡) unite Mugeuk and Taegeuk using the concept of circulation. The logic of Mugeuk and Taegeuk is both two as well as one, and one as well as two. It is not dualism nor monism. It is non-dualism and super-dualism. These logic of coexistence is the core of Mugeuk and Taegeuk. And this logic is reflexed in Daesoon Thoughts' core proposition that "Daesoon(大巡) is circle (圓), circle is Mugeuk(無極), Mugeuk is Taegeuk(太極)".
