  • 이 논문은 현대 사회의 이데올로기적 바탕을 이루고 있는 자유주의적 이론에서 제시되거나 또는 함의된 환경론을 고찰하고, 특히 환경정의의 관점에서 이를 비판하고자 한다. 우선 포괄적 의미에서 자유주의적 견해에서 이해되는 환경론을 살펴보고, 다음으로 보다 심층적으로 로크 등의 근대 사상가로부터 시작되는 고전적 자유주의와 여기서 분화된 자유지상주의, 공리주의를 환경론적 관점에서 해석하고자 한다. 끝으로 자유주의에 근거한 다원주의 및 이에 대한 비판으로 제기되고 있는 다양한 대안적 다원주의들, 특히 공동체주의, 포스트모던 다원주의, 그리고 문화적 다원주의 등을 자유주의의 한계 극복과 환경(정의)론의 구축과 관련하여 고찰하고자 한다. 결론적으로 환경정의에 관한 바람직한 개념화와 환경문제에 대한 올바른 접근을 위하여 최소한 자유주의(자유주의적 다원주의를 포함)에서 비판적 다원주의로 관심을 전환해야 함을 주장하고자 한다.

  • 본 논문의 목적은 생명윤리에 대한 이론 윤리학이 갖는 의미를 탐색하는데 있다. 첫 번째로 싱어가 제시하고 있는 이익평등고려의 원칙과 선호공리주의가 생명윤리 분야 내에서 어떠한 의미와 한계점을 갖는지 살펴본다. 두 번째로 칸트 윤리학이 생명윤리 분야에서 갖는 중요성을 강조해 보고, 그럼에도 부족했던 관점을 알아본다. 마지막으로 아리스토텔레스의 덕윤리가 생명윤리로 실현되어야 하는 이유를 살펴보고, 이를 통해 인간 삶의 의미를 제언하고자 한다. 싱어의 주장은 기존 윤리학사(倫理學史)에서 고려하지 못했던 진화한 생명에 대한 새로운 화두를 던져준다. 그는 당연시 되었던 인간 존엄에 대해 부정할 수 없는 차원의 의견을 제시하였다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, 생명 존중 대상에 대한 범위 확장을 합리적으로 이루었다고 평가할만하다. 이와 구분하여, 칸트 윤리학은 인간 존엄의 의미를 형이상학적 의미를 근거하여 설명한다. 더 나아가 인간 삶의 올바른 방향성을 제시한다. 그들의 주장을 수용함에도 결핍되었던 삶의 의미는 아리스토텔레스의 덕윤리의 적용을 통해 해소될 수 있을 듯하다. 인간을 비롯한 존재자의 삶의 의미는 생명, 더 나아가 존재 자체에 내재된 것일 수 있다.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate public preferences regarding allocation principles for scarce medical resources in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, particularly in comparison with the recommendations of ethicists. Methods: An online survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1509 adults residing in Korea, from November 2 to 5, 2020. The degree of agreement with resource allocation principles in the context of the medical resource constraints precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic was examined. The results were then compared with ethicists' recommendations. We also examined whether the perceived severity of COVID-19 explained differences in individual preferences, and by doing so, whether perceived severity helps explain discrepancies between public preferences and ethicists' recommendations. Results: Overall, the public of Korea agreed strongly with the principles of "save the most lives," "Koreans first," and "sickest first," but less with "random selection," in contrast to the recommendations of ethicists. "Save the most lives" was given the highest priority by both the public and ethicists. Higher perceived severity of the pandemic was associated with a greater likelihood of agreeing with allocation principles based on utilitarianism, as well as those promoting and rewarding social usefulness, in line with the opinions of expert ethicists. Conclusions: The general public of Korea preferred rationing scarce medical resources in the COVID-19 pandemic predominantly based on utilitarianism, identity and prioritarianism, rather than egalitarianism. Further research is needed to explore the reasons for discrepancies between public preferences and ethicists' recommendations.

  • This study is a theoretical study on philosophical thinking for examining the idea of the corporate social responsibility(CSR) of a company. The oriental philosophical thought is to understand the contents of social responsibility of the corporation centering on Mozi's philosophy, which stresses that people should care for everyone equally. In the Western philosophical thought, we tried to understand the contents of corporate social responsibility by focusing on utilitarian thought. It is not merely an actual principle or a moral principle, but a comprehension for mutual benefit. In conclusion, it can be concluded that universal love's approach through the gangbang has many similarities with the realization of the greatest happiness of the number that is uttered in utilitarian thinking. In this way, a sustainable competitiveness of corporations can be achieved through universal love and utilitarian philosophical understanding and practice for the cognition of social responsibility.

Fourth, business ethics education should be taught in colleges as well as in the home and community. The limitations of this study and the directions of following studies is as follows: Frist, in spite of establishing a research model concerning business ethics, the researcher could not develop a systematic education program for business ethics. Second, it is necessary to develop a systematic education program for business ethics in order to utilize it for producing practical study.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 한 개인이 내린 윤리적 의사결정이 개인중심 성향이나 집단중심 성향과 같은 개인의 문화성향과 상호작용하는지를 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 연구 1(N=92)에서는 개인의 문화성향에 따라 다수의 이익이 부각되거나 소수의 희생이 강조되는 상황에서 윤리적 의사결정의 차이가 나타나는지를 비교하였다. 그 결과 다수의 이익이 부각되는 상황에서는 공리주의적 입장에 대한 선호가 더 컸고, 소수의 희생이 강조되는 상황에서는 의무론적 입장에 대한 선호가 더 컸다. 또한 문화성향에 따른 도덕판단 기준의 중요성을 평정하게 했을 때, 개인중심성향에서는 위해와 공정의 기준을, 집단중심성향에서는 위해, 내 집단, 공정과 권위를 모두 도덕판단의 중요한 기준으로 인식하였다. 연구 2(N=30)에서는 개인 또는 집단을 어휘판단과제를 통해 점화시킨 후, 윤리적 의사결정의 과정을 마우스추적기법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 도덕판단에서 '네'와 '아니오'의 최종적 반응으로 이어지는 경로를 마우스궤적으로 분석한 결과, 소수의 희생이 부각되면 개인점화조건에서는 집단점화조건에 비해 마우스편차와 X축 방향전환횟수가 더 컸다. 또한 내집단과 연관된 행동을 판단할 때, 개인점화조건에서는 집단점화조건보다 마우스편차가 더 큰 경향성이 나타났다. 마우스편차의 증가는 자동적인 정서의 과정을 통제하면서, 다른 대안적인 응답을 동시에 고려하는 사고과정임을 생각할 때, 이 결과는 문화성향과 갈등상황에 따라 도덕판단의 과정이 달라질 가능성을 시사한다.

의료(醫療) 윤리(倫理) 배경 철학으로서의 삼재(三才) 사상(思想)에 대한 연구(硏究) (A Study on the SamJae Theory(三才思想) as a Philosophic Background of Medical Ethics)

  • This study was carried out to examine that the SamJae Theory(三才思想) was applied for a philosophic background of medical ethics. SamJae theory is not the system of three categories, which is unlike to the meaning of the word 'Sam(三)', but it is the system of two categories with 天(陽) and 地(陰) which are dividing all creations and phenomenons in the universe into two. Nevertheless, the reason why we divide all the universal creations and phenomenons into three, 天, 地 and 人, and also why we give a name 'SamJae' to this theory using the word 'Sam' meaning three, is to emphasize the human free volition that comes from the independent human life in the universe composed of 天(陽) and 地(陰). In other word, the core concept of SamJae theory is not 天(陽) and 地(陰) but 人 which symbolize the independent free volition of human. Therefore, if we try to use SamJae theory as a philosophic background of medical ethics, we can establish a comprehensive theoretical system including the existing ethical theories such as utilitarianism.

  • The research aims to analyze the structural meaning of mobility design on 'Furnitecture' with the works of Andrea Zittel. The study consists of the literature review and the analysis of Zittel's works. The framework for the analysis is divided into four steps: identification of visual forms/structure/function, analysis of the principles of delivering the concept of mobility, interpretation & synthesis of the relational meanings derived from the concepts of mobility, and evaluation of Zittel's tendency toward design/social background/design history, etc. Total fifteen cases are selected from Zittel's works, and each case is analyzed following the above steps. The finding shows that Zittel likes to play with geometrical forms, grid & modular system to create a minimum space for living equipped with critical furnishing. Secondly, Zittel's works deliver the concept of mobility by applying movability, adaptation, combination and transformation. Thirdly, through the concepts of mobility, Zittel reflects the ideas of high efficiency and functionalism, harmony with natural environment, search for liberty, simple & humble life and success of the designers of American modernism. Finally, it is found that modernism from the era of Bauhaus, utopian values derived from constructionism, utilitarianism inspired by Shakers and homestead act & mobile home/capsule unit suggested since 19th century in America mainly affect Zittel's works to reflect the dynamic concepts of mobility through the design of furnitecture.
