  • 기존의 생태철학에서, 환경 위기의 원인이 인간과 자연의 분리에 있으므로, 위기를 극복하기 위해선 인간과 자연의 친화가 필요하다고 한다. 우리는 동양사상이야말로 그런 합일성의 전형이라고 주장해 왔다. 실제로 동양의 전통문화 중에는 생태적 의의를 갖고 있는 사상적 내용이 적지 않게 들어있다. 그러나 현대 사회에서 그것이 얼마만큼의 활력과 의미를 갖고 있는지는 말하기 쉽지 않다. 다른 한 편으로 우리가 환경파괴의 주범이라고 생각하고 있는 서양의 사상이 생각만큼 반생태적인 내용을 담고 있지 않을 수도 있다. 따라서 우리는 좀 더 근본적인 곳에서부터 문제를 제기하고 답을 찾아 나가기 위해 "서양의 자연관은 반생태적인가?"라는 물음과 "동양의 자연관은 생태적인가?"라는 물음을 던지고 이에 대해 다시 검토해 볼 필요성이 있다. 특히 전자의 물음에 대해서는 적지 않은 연구가 있었기 때문에 후자의 물음에 대해 주목할 필요가 있으며 그에 대한 해답을 제시할 수 있다면 동양 생태 사상의 현대적 전환과 실천적 의의를 찾을 수 있는 단초를 제공하게 될 것이라 생각한다. 생태문제는 이론의 문제라기보다는 실천의 문제이다. 어떻게 실천을 가능하게 할 것인가의 문제이다. 개인과 국가, 기업 모두 어떻게 사는 것이 궁극적으로 가치 있는 삶인지 자각하지 못한다면 생태문제의 해결은 요원하다. 한 사람만의 자각으로는 해결이 불가능하며 생태문화의 사회적 조성과 교육이 동반되어야 한다. 이 과정에서 전통적인 환경 이해 방식과 사상을 비판적으로 고찰하고 객관적으로 바라봐야 할 필요성이 생기는 것이다. 동양 전통 문화가 담고 있는 풍부한 생태 사상적 요소의 보편적 가치는 그것이 현대적으로 전환될 수 있는 가능성을 실현시켜 줄 수 있는 기초가 된다. 그러나 보편적 가치만으로 그것이 현대적 이론으로 전환되어 실천과 연결될 수 있는지는 별도의 문제이다. 앞에서 언급했던 것처럼 생태 사상은 이론 문제이기 이전에 실천문제이다. 아무리 훌륭하고 잘 갖추어진 이론이라 할지라도 실천과 연결될 수 있는 현실적 길을 찾지 못한다면 그것은 아무 쓸모가 없는 것이다. 그러나 동양 전통 생태사상이 현대적으로 전환될 수 있는 가능성은 얼마든지 있다. 앞에서도 말했듯이 생태사상의 문제는 이론뿐만 아니라 실천이 병행되어야 하는 것이며, 과거의 문제가 아니라 현재의 문제이기 때문에 미리 답안을 정해놓고 문제를 검토하는 것이 아닌 오늘날의 입장에서 끊임없이 새로운 문제를 제시하고 답안을 찾으려 할 때 동양 생태사상의 현대적 전환은 어느 정도 가능성을 보게 될 것이다.

  • In this article, I have analyzed the signification of the death of Don Quijote from the oriental religious and philosophical point of view, comparing with the novels of Kim, DongRi. We are able to read Cervantes' hope for his absolute ideal to be lasting forever via the death of Don Quijote, in the base of a strong will named of Gukyeong's life. In the same time, we can also discovery death as lasting of life in the basis of buddhist idea and death as the unification with nature via the meeting between the living and the dead in the Montesinos Cave. Montesinos Cave symbolizes a unclassified and chaotic space, which the Shamanist can meet the dead with a extatic ceremony and both supernatural life and daily life coexist. Therefore, the symbolic death of Don Quijote in Montesinos Cave is abe to be explained by approaching to absolute freedom named of Hatal, in other words, voluntary and conscious death to escape from the yugo of being. Considering the fact that Kim, Dongri emphasized on the unification of sky, earth and human being, keeping a racial identification in the face of the stream of occidental materialism in the time of Japanese conquest, we can look for the similarity with Cervantes' ideal. Contrary to the religious dogmatic ideal, Cervantes treated to recover the human nature and vitality, transcending the occidental rationalism and religious ideology in the time of Counter-reformation.

  • The study aims at looking, into conceptual transfer of environment between Minimal Art and Minimalism architecture and analysing architectural expressional characteristics which could visually show pro-environmental expression from concept of environment-orientation in the architecture in regional minimalism. This study issued the survey of Minimalism architecture as newly architectural trend since Late-Modernism, and pro-environment as important paradigm in the near future. In this analyses, the characteristics of pro-environmental expression can be classified as follow ; a the brightness and darkness of light, b. the perspective view of simplified wall, c. the visualization of environmental characteristics, d. the transparency and reflectiveness of glass, e. the all direction of cube, f. the visual division of architecture. These show that symbolized variety implying expression variety and implying Oriental view of nature were expressed as unique language of regional Minimalism architecture, by visual simplicity as characteristics of Minimalism and Occidental Modernism as motive of Minimalism.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine how the perception of lives and studies in the Joseon Dynasty period, and the concept of its sculptures can be reflected in Korean traditional pavilion place, from the perspective of Nomadism as a western philosophy of this era. Nomadism literally refers to way of life of peoples who do not live continually in the same place but move cyclically searching for temporary centres whose stability depends on the availability of food and water supply or pastures for their livestock. In recent years, the term encompasses three general types: job nomads, digital nomads and ubi-nomads, which represent distinct features of modern society. Its concept implies looking for the new creative possibility through the liberation of desire and the breakaway to another thinking through continuous formation and transformation. Likewise, Korean traditional pavilion is the architecture to take a quick rest while walking in the mountains. This open place thus connects surroundings with people who are allowed to assimilate with nature as well as train their mind by following the law of nature, in order to finally reach the celestial state of mind. Knowing how to see, enjoy and appreciate the arts very close to nature, our ancestors were able to learn aesthetic activities. After recognizing Korean traditional pavilion as the potential place of unification of heaven and men which is Korean scholor's lifestyle and outlook on the world, this study accordingly will identify the value and meaning of Korean traditional architecture according to Nomadism in the occidental point of view.

  • In the present age dominate by both cer-taingty of 1% and uncertainty of 99% 'Fuzzy thinking' of Bart Kosko that is the way to solve the problems by the scientific way through a worldview of Buddhism or Taoism greatly prevails around the world over 'Lateral greatly prevails around the world over 'Lateral thinking' and the authenticity or the right and-wrong of the uncertainty which is the thinking way to find the answer of the problems of illogical way of Edward de Beno against the western vertical thinking were Concurrently fashion designers over the world also adopt the oriental elements. But there exist differences of thoughts between the orient and the occident. And they have dif-ferent thinking way of aestheticism and references of the value on the beauty. Not only beauty but the view through the mind as intuitional thought in which not only the rec-ognition of sense but also the rationalism and the naturalness play key role. The aesthetic sense in the orient contains both the truth and virtue. 2) The beauty of the mean It's from the thought of neutralization of Confucius. The mean or moderation state which in harmony with ethical virtue and aes-thetic beauty is the ideal and is the ultimate. Therefore the thought of Confucian is the creativity in which the balance and the har-mony is most important. Fashion design is also one of the representation of the mean because the spirit of the designer is harmonized for-mlessly with the object of the model of the fashion design. 2) The beauty of skillfulness It indicates the Taoism of Lao-tzu and Chuangtzu. It takes a super-artistic declar-ation that human can feel and recognize the color of colorlessness the sound of sound-lessness and the taste of tastelessness. The thought of arts affected by Taoism is 'ad-vanced age' called the beauty of skillfulness. The view of arts of lao-tzu takes the beauty of cosmos and the nature as a standard. Es-pecially the beauty of inactivity is recognized by the linkage between the beauty and the ugliness. And these things appear in fashion design as a design element such as humor or exaggeration. 3) The beauty of non-dualism It is thought of Buddhism that all evil passions of worry occur form the opposition in dualism. Finally this thought leads to that everything is consistent and truth is only one from the point of view that virtue and vice has on linkage that is 'no virtues no vices' and 'one with two, two, with one, one is not two' A big tendency like this became the root forma-tion of the thought of the oriental arts. 3. Characteristics of the oriental aesthetic sense on the present fashion design 1) The formation of the fashion design on the oriental elements In the picture-incantation which was a representation of an era when the thought of 'cosmic dual forces' dominated the basic polygons of 'a circle square triangle' means both 'one two three' and 'the negative positive mean' of cosmic elements. From this point of view the was of planner cutting in the Orient is dif-ferent from that of the Occidental which is in three-dimensional. The planner polygon type of the cut-pieces comes to have the meaning of the three-dimension when they consist of a suit that has the combination of each cut-piece. This shows the consistency with the principle of cosmos creation of Taoism that one is two two is three and three is every-thing. 2) The coloring and the symbolic represen-tation of the fashion design on the orien-tal elements The sense on the colors in the Orient from the thought of 'the cosmic dual forces and the five elements' is not the experi-enced from the knowledge but contains the consideration of philosophy Five-primary-color representing compass directions Blue(East) Red(South) Yellow(Center) White (West) and Black (North) is called ' the posi-tive' for this five-primary-color secondary-color which comes from the compound of the primary colors is called 'the negative' The thought of 'the cosmic dual forces and the five elements' is also an theory containing the natural order of the cos-mos and this shows the perceptional differ-ence that they are not conceptual but to be recognized and fell directly. A thought of Buddhism which is 'Colors are colorlessness and Clolorlessness are color's proves that. 3) The pattern and symbolic representation of the fashion design on the oriental elements The pattern as a visual style is a figure of symbolic representation which adopt the mental and physical world of human and are the compo-sition of artistic revelation of the human nature and the religous thought of incantation. Es-pecially the symbolic representation of the oriental thought of Confusion. Buddhism and Taoism There are patterns such as plants aminals the oriental four gods and geometry. From the above it's the time toward the 21'th century when the world is constructing one global area and one historical zone. And the exotic mood of the Orient represented in the fashion which doesn't make the common feeling in general does not cease to develop only to express the visual modeling but also adopts the thought religion and the art which are the root of the Orientail and contains inherent willing of modeling.
