This paper examines 'Religion Class' in the scheme of the DDC. The major findings of the study are summerized as follows. 1. The first edition of DDC was published in 1876 in order to classify Amherst College Library collections. In spite of the continuous study and revision of the experts, the frameworks of the DDC systems are still kept unchanged. Only their subdivisions, reflecting those developments in the academic world, are developed and detailed more sophisticatedly. 2. The division of 200 does not function as generalities for all class of religion. Therefore, it is necessary to amend the division of 200 to serve generalities for all the religions of the world. 3. Standard subdivision for the christian religion and for the non-christian religion is different. So, the mnemonic nature has become weakened due to the dual standard subdivisions and the classification number becomes much longer and complicated. Therefore, one standard subdivision for all religions of the world is required. 4. Religion science was organized in late 19 C and developed continuously, but the DDC does not accomodate the religion science as a science. Accodingly, the DDC should be revised recognize religion science as a science not the christian science. 5. The deployment of classification scheme in Dewey's 200 is severely biased. That is to say, 9 division were assigned for christian religion, whereas only 1 division was assigned for non-christian religion. Therefore, an adjustment should be made to allocate subdivisions equally to all religions of the world. 6. General classification order of religion is prehistoric, primitive, ancient, modem and world religion in religion science. But, DDC does not accept this general classification order of religion, sticking to the biased expansion towards christianity. Therefore, DDC must adopt the general classification order of religion in the religion science. 7. Lastly, because of the limitation of decimal notation in DC, DDC does not accomodate new subject equally and classification number becomes longer. Therefore, centesimal expansion is proposed in order to make the classification number short, to enlarge its capacity of inclusion of new subject and to maintain consistency in the scheme.

대순진리회는 교단 내부 구성원들에 있어서나 학계에 있어서나 '민족종교'로 인식되고 있다. 그런데 이 민족종교의 성격이 꽤 복잡하다. 곧 민족종교로서 민족주의를 중심으로 한민족의 선민사상을 강조하면서도, 한편으로는 인류와 세계를 구제하겠다는 세계종교의 보편성도 내포하고 있다고 주장한다. 이를 민족종교의 특수성과 세계종교의 보편성이라고 말하고 있다. 그런데 이러한 특수성과 보편성의 논리는 단지 대순진리회에만 국한된 특징이 아니다. 이미 세계적으로 많은 종교들이 민족종교와 세계종교의 두 가지 측면을 동시에 가진다고 하는 이중성을 보여 왔다. 그 가운데 본고에서 주목한 것은 근대 일본에서 형성된 교파신도다. 근대 일본 정부가 국가신도체제를 구축하는 과정에서 탄생한 교파신도는 총 13개 종파가 형성되는데, 이들의 대부분은 일본인의 민족적 전통을 계승하는 민족종교라고 하면서도, 청일전쟁과 러일전쟁을 기점으로 본격적으로 세계종교를 표방하면서 해외포교에 나선다. 그렇다면 이처럼 민족종교의 정체성을 유지하면서 세계종교를 지향했던 교파신도의 해외포교는 어떻게 귀착되었고, 이들의 세계종교화는 현재 어떻게 진행되고 있을까? 본고에서는 이처럼 민족종교와 세계종교의 이중성을 보여 왔던 교파신도의 사례를 통해 대순진리회의 세계종교의 가능성을 살펴보고, 이를 위해 대순진리회가 지향해야 하는 길에 대해 약간의 제언을 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 한국사회에서 오랫동안 논의되어 왔던 '민족종교'론 또는 '민중종교'론의 역사적 흐름에 대해 살펴볼 것이며, 한국에서 민족종교이면서 세계종교를 지향하고 있는 원불교의 사례도 점검하는 것으로 민족종교와 세계종교의 경계에 서 있는 대순진리회의 새로운 지향점에 대해 검토해 보고자 한다.

본 논문은 형이상학과 종교 그리고 도덕에 대한 니체의 비판을 정동을 통해 해명하고자 하는 시도이다. 인간의 실존적 건강을 위한 니체의 철학적 시도는 현실적 삶의 세계로서의 대지에 대한 긍정을 통해 비로소 실현될 수 있다. 생성하는 대지에 대한 긍정은 곧 이 대지를 쾌의 세계로 느낀다는 것을 의미한다. 하지만 형이상학과 종교는 지금까지 이편의 대지세계를 쾌에 반하는 불쾌의 장소로 가정했다. 다시 말해 형이상학과 종교는 인간의 고유한 정동을 억압해왔다. 형이상학, 종교 그리고 도덕의 관점에서 정동은 위험한 것이다. 하지만 니체에 의하면 정동은 오히려 인간의 자연성을 드러낼 수 있는 근본조건이다. 본 논문은 형이상학, 종교, 도덕에 대한 니체의 비판을 그의 정동 개념을 실마리로 하여 논의할 것이다

This article explores the intersection of freedom of religion, sangsaeng, and symbiosis when considering the post-COVID study of religions, especially new religions. When it comes to the study of new and alternative religious groups, where there is more potential for misunderstanding and misinformation, it becomes all the more important-and indeed mutually beneficial, in the areas of religious liberty, religious freedom, and cross-cultural dialogue-to learn about a tradition by taking into account the spiritual life and practices of members themselves and their own sacred writings and practices. Daesoon Jinrihoe offers a case study of the importance of this principle and the notion of sangsaeng in particular is a fruitful utilitarian lens for thinking about how scholars, journalists, and others might approach the study of religion in our complex and global digital age of (mis) information. Daesoon Jinrihoe is also considered in light of Roy Wallis's typology of world-rejecting, world-affirming, and world-accommodating new religious movements. Open areas for sociological research are proposed and the nascent field of Daesoon studies is compared to some similar scholarly endeavors within NRM studies.

하나의 종교를 집중적으로 본다면 신앙과 믿음의 문제이지만, 세계종교 전체를 보면 역사, 문화, 인간의 삶과 생활이 담겨진 콘텐츠가 된다. 종교를 콘텐츠로 보고 세계종교 13개를 중심으로 각 네트워크를 만들어 네트워크의 구조를 분석하였다. 13개 종교를 합쳐 전체 네트워크를 구축하였는데, 일반적인 사회네트워크와 같은 멱함수 분포를 가지는 척도없는 네트워크의 특성을 보여주었다. 세계종교 네트워크는 일반적인 척도없는 네트워크와 달리 뭉침계수 값이 매우 적었다. 이는 종교를 설명하는 용어들의 다양성의 결과라 보여 진다. 전체 네트워크에 단순하지만 핵심 네트워크를 만드는데 사용되는 K-코어 알고리즘을 적용하여 코어 네트워크를 구축하였으나 K-3를 적용했을 때는 너무 복잡하고, K-4를 적용했을 때는 너무 단순하여 유의미한 결과를 얻기 어려웠다. 뭉침계수가 낮은 네트워크에 K-코어 알고리즘을 적용하기 어려운 것으로 판단되어, 허브 노드 중심의 핵심단어 수에 따른 네트워크를 구축하여 세계종교의 특성을 분석하였다. 이외에도 세계 5대 종교 네트워크와 동아시아 종교 네트워크를 만들어 유의미한 정보를 도출하였다. 본 연구에서는 세계종교를 콘텐츠로 보고 분석하여 다양한 정보를 얻었으며, 뭉침계수 값이 적은 네트워크는 핵심단어를 기반으로 코어 네트워크를 만들어 분석하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다.

This essay analyzes the meaning of "modern civilization" and the ways it relates to religion conceived as a "The Fellowship of Daesoon Truth (Daesoon Jinrihoe)." We take the expression "Fellowship of Truth" in the broadest sense as indicative of a human companionship with the true nature of the Real. We therefore understand the term to be practically equivalent with the concept of "religion" as connoting the ideas of bond, relationship, debt, and duty toward the Ultimate Reality, toward fellow human beings, and toward the cosmos in general. On this basis, our intent is to assess the nature and limits of the relationship between religion as a fellowship of the Truth and the tenets of modern civilization. Within this overarching perspective, the case of Daesoon Jinrihoe is particularly significant and fruitful for two sets of reasons. Firstly, this is so because Daesoon is typically branded a "new religious movement" open to modernity while it is also true that at least some of its representatives are wary of the negative implications of the modern world. Secondly, the significance of a study of Daesoon in light of the notion of religion as a "The Fellowship of the Truth" lies in that it asserts being rooted in tradition, which raises the question of its relationship with modernity.

Religions have the characteristics ultimately to solve the problems of human beings. These religions are externally expressed through the behaviors called rituals and contain substantially symbolic meanings. A ritual is a kind of transcendental experiences and infinite experience conducted in the reality and formalizes external behaviors in front of the presence of holy subject. Therefore, there is no religion without rituals. However, there are insignificant differences between religions or sects in performing rituals. The purpose of a ritual for human beings who have access to the holy world and this world is to keep their balances not to excessively indulge in this world. Moreover, a ritual plays the role to exercise strict control over the daily life of religious people who are in the holy world but easily tend to be accustomed to force of habit. These rituals are closely related to belief. Belief(Conviction) is one of core elements of religion. Belief as the unique activity among various behaviors of human beings illustrates another characteristics of human beings. The common efforts in the history of mankind to overcome cultural or geographical differences through existing religions can be represented by belief, that is, the faith. On the basis of background described above, this study aims to identify the meaning of rituals and dynamic structure of belief as examining the rituals of Daesoonjinrihoe.

Since the end of the Cold War, debate about the grand struggle between capitalism and communism has been largely replaced by debate about religious sectarianism. Some have even referred to a "clash of civilizations" in the wake of the spread of Islamic fundamentalism. This is in fact an old debate, but it has been given new life by arguments about globalization and economic development as envisioned by the West, and especially by the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001. While the political right has had little difficulty treating religious belief as a fundamental human and social interest, much of the political left has remained committed to secular Enlightenment, even when it criticizes the hegemony of the West. The dispute depends upon competing notions of history, secularism, and progress, and ultimately on the possibility or desirability of universal solidarity. While for many a world unified by one religion may no longer make sense, the old Enlightenment dream that a single version of secular and universal reason will eventually prevail over religious difference may also need to be reconsidered. The process that we call secularization is neither as singular, nor as transparent, as we might think.

There are many discourses about 'religion and women,' but it is no exaggeration to say that there is none about 'religion and men.' This is because the existing religions have been male-centric and have produced legions of male-dominated cultures. In Catholic Church, even today, only men can become the Pope, and women are not allowed to enter priesthood. Meanwhile, in the Islamic cultural areas, the reality is that women are being victimized by men who do not recognize the bad habits such as honor killings, or honor crimes. It is certain that gender discrimination in religious and cultural areas cannot be overlooked. This study focuses on the understanding of women in the thought of Daesoonjinrihoe(大巡眞理會), that is, the Daesoon Thought, which claims to advocate world peace. Daesoonjinrihoe is understood as a thought which tries to overcome gender discrimination prevalent in the existing religions and presents the vision of a new religion which aims to realize a new world of peace by drawing a distinction between the Former Heaven and the Latter Heaven. This study examines the understanding of women by looking at the tenet of Daesoonjinrihoe that consists of 'YeumYangHapDeok(陰陽合德), SinInJoHwa(神人調化), HaeWon-SangSaeng(解冤相生), DoTongJinGyeong(道通眞境).' The tenet is thought of as the basis of creed on which the understanding of women by the Daesoon Thought can be grasped as it basically contains the essence of teaching of the order. In the Daesoon Thought, women have the same status as men; women can become holy and dignified beings by engaging in independent, active, and autonomous spiritual exercises, and serve as a driving force for the realization of the ideal world. This understanding of women by the Daesoon Thought contains the idea of peace which can turn 'the culture of discrimination' into 'the culture of equality,' and 'the culture of life destruction' into 'the culture of life care.'
