  • In this paper, in order to explicate how mathematics education can contribute to humanity education, I enquired in which position mathematics occupy in Froebel's For this, I examined Froebel's theory of humanity education, his theory of mathematics education, and the applicational problem of his thoughts to nowaday education. Froebel's educational theory is based on the concept of the Divine Unity which is relevant to the notion of 'The Absolute' of Fichte, Schelling, Hegel. He claims that from inanimate objects to human being, all is subject to the eternal law, which is presided by God. So the world itself is the representation of this law of the Divine Unity and education consists in leading man to conscious and free representation of it. The revealing process of the inner law of the Divine Unity can be attained through the awareness of the divinity which resides in the self. And this process of self-consciousness is dialectical movement of the two opposites, i.e. 'inner' and 'outer' Froebel suggests that mathematics is the mediator between the inner and outer world, i.e. he suggests that since both human being and nature are the representations of the Divine Unity, mathematics is both the pure human spirits and the law of nature. Having such a role, mathematics becomes the main discipline in education. Though there are some criticism on Froebel's educational thoughts on mathematics discussed in this paper, it can provide a typical answer to the question about how mathematics education contributes to humanity education.

Vietnamese Syncretism and the Characteristics of Caodaism's Chief Deity: Problematising Đức Cao Đài as a 'Monotheistic' God Within an East Asian Heavenly Milieu

  • Caodaism is a new religion from Vietnam which began in late 1925 and spread rapidly across the French colony of Indochina. With a broad syncretic aim, the new faith sought to revivify Vietnamese religious traditions whilst also incorporating religious, literary, and spiritist influences from France. Like Catholicism, Caodaism kept a strong focus on its monotheistic nature and today Caodaists are eager to label their religion a monotheism. It will be argued here, however, that the syncretic nature of this new faith complicates this claim to a significant degree. To make this argument, we will consider here the nature of God in Caodaism through two central texts from two important stages in the life of the religion. The first is the canonized Compilation of Divine Messages which collects a range of spirit messages from God and some other divine voices. These were received in the early years of the faith. The second is a collection of sermons from 1948/9 that takes Caodaist believers on a tour of heaven, and which is entitled The Divine Path to Eternal Life. It will be shown that in the first text, God speaks in the mode of a fully omnipotent and omniscient supreme being. In the second text, however, we are given a view of paradise that is much more akin to the court of a Jade Emperor within an East Asian milieu. In these realms, the personalities of other beings and redemptive mechanisms claim much of our attention, and seem to be a competing center of power to that of God. Furthermore, God's consort, the Divine Mother, takes on a range of sacred creative prerogatives that do something similar. Additionally, cadres of celestial administrators; buddhas, immortals, and saints help with the operation of a cosmos which spins on with guidance from its own laws. These laws form sacred mechanisms, such as cycles of reincarnation and judgement. These operate not in the purview of God, but as part of the very nature of the cosmos itself. In this context, the dualistic, polytheistic, and even automatic nature of Caodaism's cosmos will be considered in terms of the way in which they complicate this religion's monotheistic claims. To conclude, this article seeks to demonstrate the precise relevance of the term 'monotheism' for this religion.

  • The real nature of the west wind in Shelley's Ode to the West Wind is the divine providence which influences all things in this world- that is, whether they are on land, in the sky, or in the sea. The divine providence is the manifestation of something beyond the present and tangibel object. In the first stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the wild wind, the breath of Autumn's being, the unseen presence, the azure sister of the Spring, a Destroyer, a Preserver, the winged seed, a creator, a philosopher, a poet, Shelley, and the wild spirit moving everywhere. In the second stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is cloud, the angel of rain and lightning, fierce Maenad, the approaching storm, the congregated might, the black rain, the fire, hail, solid atmosphere, the tremendous power of revolutionary change, and the power that influences all things in the sky. In the third stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the voice that makes the oozy woods which wear the sapless foliage of the Atlantic, and the power makes the blue Mediterranean wake from his summer dream. the fit medium of expression which Shelley's soul was seeking for, Shelley's passion, Shelley's partner, Shelley's co-worker, and a strong presence which influences in the sea. In the fourth stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the mightest presence, the power, the strength, the free presence, the uncontrollable, the wanderer over heaven, a vision, the tameless, the swift, the proud and the God who can save Shelley form the heavy weight of hours and lift Shelley as a wave a leaf, a cloud. In the fifth stanza, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is the mighty harmony, the fierce Spirit, Shelley's spirit, the impetuous spirit, incanation of this verse, spark, the trumpet of a prophecy, the Providence which can make the Winter depart and call Spring, and the prophet. To conclude, the real nature of the west wind in this poem is Shelley's accumulated insight that he visulize his impulse of revolutionary thought.

  • Numbers structure reality and define the way people live. Both in Daoism and in Daesoon Jinrihoe they signify key concepts, notably the cardinal numbers from one through nine that classify different dimensions of the cosmos. Beyond these, the number twenty-four plays an important role. In a temporal mode, it marks the divisions or seasonal periods of the year. Consisting of fifteen days each, these periods signal (and are named after) changes in dominant weather patterns and the position of the sun. Generally activated in the body through particular seasonal activities and dietary prescriptions, in Daoism they are also the root of a series of healing exercises and certain refinement practices of internal alchemy. In Daesoon Jinrihoe, moreover, they are activated by chanting a specific incantation that invokes the twenty-four divine rulers of the divisions, originally a group of Tang Dynasty officials that in nature and function resemble the spirit generals of the early Celestial Masters. Beyond this, the number twenty-four also applies to space. Not unlike the twenty-eight lunar stations or mansions, traditional cosmology acknowledges twenty-four directions, made up of six constellations each in the four cardinal directions, complete with starry deities and divine generals. Their powers are activated with the help of written characters rather than vocal incantations, using techniques common both in Daoism and Daesoon Jinrihoe.

주자학으로 본 대순사상의 마음에 관한 연구 - 허령, 지각, 신명을 중심으로 - (A Study on Heart-Mind of Daesoon Thought from the Perspective of Neo-Confucianism: Focused on Numinous Emptiness, Wise-awakening, and Divine Beings)

  • 본 논문은 주자학의 관점으로 대순사상의 마음을 살펴본 것이다. 『현무경』의 허령·지각·신명은 주자학에서 마음의 특질로 언급되는 것이다. 이에 따라 본체로서의 허령, 작용으로서의 지각, 주체로서의 신명으로 나누어 마음의 체용과 주재에 대해 논하였다. 허령은 태극의리(太極之理)가 개인에게 품부된 것으로, 이는 하늘에 있어서는 명령이고, 사람에 있어 본성이며, 마음에 있어 본체로서 허령불매하다. 이 마음의 허령은 곧 심령이라고도 한다. 지각은 마음의 작용으로, 지각되는 것은 허령(理)과 사물(氣)이다. 허령인 태극지리를 지각하는 마음은 양심으로 천성인 도심을 말하며, 사물과 접하여 생기는 마음은 사심인 인심을 말한다. 이렇게 지각하는 방향성에 의해 마음의 상태가 결정되는데, 경(敬)을 통해 천리를 지각하고 마음을 안심의 상태에 이를 것을 언급하고 있다. 신명은 형이상의 본체와 형이하의 사물에 각각 대응하여 그것을 총합하고 인지하고 반응하는 사람의 주체로 지각을 주재한다. 마음은 신이 드나드는 길이라고 할 때, 사람의 마음은 정신혼백이 외부사물과 접촉하여 반응하는 신체적인 감각과 내부의 정신적 사려와 지각활동이 총합되는 내재신의 용사기관을 말한다. 또한 마음에는 외재신이 감응하여 출입하기도 하며, 이로 인한 체질이나 성격의 변화가 이루어지기도 한다. 이 글에서 대순사상의 마음에 관하여 강조하고자 한 것은 첫째, 기존의 유심론적 관점을 탈피하여 주자학의 허령·지각·신명으로 조망할 것을 언급하였다. 둘째, 천지에서 품부 받은 허령을 체로하고 지각을 용으로 보아 마음의 체용을 밝히고자 하였다. 셋째, 정기신과 혼백에 대한 내재신의 개념을 언급하고, 주체로서 신명의 주재함을 언급하였다.

  • 본고는 보조 지눌이 제시한 '마음'의 문제에 대하여 다루고 있다. 전제적으로 '마음'의 문제에 대한 지눌의 접근방식, 심성론 그리고 수증론의 세 영역으로 접근하여 설명하였다. 기존의 연구 성과를 토대로 하였으며, 다만 '무심(無心)'의 부분을 심성론의 부분에서 설명하고자 한 부분이 기존의 연구자와 다른 점이라 할 수 있다. 이는 간화선과의 배대를 이루기 위하여 발표자가 강조한 것이다. 본 논문의 내용은 '마음'의 문제에 대한 지눌의 접근방식을 주로 수증론에 입각하여 설명하였으며, 그의 사상이 저술의 형성을 통하여 나타났다는 점과 그의 사상체계가 돈오점수와 간화선의 구조로 되어 있음을 밝혔다. 마음의 문제를 철학적으로 다루고 있는 것은 심성론이다. 따라서 심성론에 있어서 심성의 용례를 살펴보고 이어 돈오점수론의 바탕이 되는 공적영지심과 간화론의 바탕이 되는 무심에 대하여 살펴보았다. 마지막으로 수증론으로서 돈오점수론과 간화론에 대하여 살펴보았다.

  • This essay "Twain's Contestation of Emersonian Transcendental Manhood in Huckleberry Finn" explores how Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) manifests his postwar contestation of Ralph Waldo Emerson's transcendental manhood that endorses the dogmatic, egocentric, and decorporealized position of the Cartesian subject, who believes his being's unity, elevation, and centrality through his fantasy of possessing direct access to divine truth. The connection between Emerson and Twain is based not on Emerson's influence on Twain but on their common interest in American landscape as a site for the redefinition of manhood and masculinity. I examine different types of manhood in their association with nature in Huckleberry Finn by comparing them with the two fundamental concepts of Emerson's philosophy: "a true man" in "Self-Reliance" (1841) and transparent eyeball vision in Nature (1836). Twain's use of Huck's ambivalent position-his centrality as a protagonist in the novel in spite of his marginality in society-renegotiates Emerson's valorization of nonconformity, wholeness, and nonchalance as the characteristics of both boyhood and "a true man," Emerson's term for the ideal individual in "Self-Reliance." I also read Twain's satire of two different types of masculine characters-Bob and the Child of Calamity, boatmen of the Southern frontier, and Colonel Grangerford, patriarch of a Southern aristocratic family-as Twain's denouncement of the antebellum desire for transcendental vision, which Emerson crystalizes into his notion of transparent eyeball in Nature.
