The map where so-called 'New Religion' of Korea in the Colonial Era is entangled with 'Religion (Christianity, Buddhism, Shindo)' recognized by the Japanese Government General of Korea and nationalism. Accordingly positive research on how religious ideal and ideology in 'New Religion' in Korea was practically applied and practiced in the society is a crucial task. Meanwhile there is survey data representing the status in the long term from 1860s to early 1930s in regard to 'New Religion' of Korea in the Colonial Era. In other words it is 'Pseudo Religion in Joseon' by Murayama Jijun published in 1935. Most part of them are shown through statistics data. In particular he took a look at the distribution of 'Pseudo Religion', ups and downs of religious influence, faith consciousness, its impact and religious ideological movement and social movement. Therefore, if this statistical data could be utilized through quellenkritik, it is thought to have value of significant reference in research on Korea's 'New Religion'. This paper utilizes many statistics included in the survey data among critical review on recognition in Murayama's 'New Religion in Korea' as basic texts. During the procedure this paper seeks to look at the geology of Korean 'New Religion' and attempts basic consideration in the quantitative term related to trend and ups and downs of the groups. Through this basic research I hope that 'public concern of New Religion' in modern Korea and research on re-establishment will move forward.

This thesis is a study on the properties of new religious ritual dress in Korea to help understand new religions more completely. A new religion means 'Newly born religions'and it is an opposite conception of the existing religion. The new religions in Korea have been established, changed and become extinct beginning with 'Dong-Hak'movement by Choi Jea Woo in 1860. Sometimes they've caused social problems with their number increasing after the rapid industrialization in 1970's. There are about 350 new religions and 2,000,000 christians in Korea now. Some of theme are pseudo religions wearing the mask of religion and also there are great new religions that will contribute to our spiritual history. The latter shows the thoughtful properties of the union of religion, postnatal creation, nation's independence, and human's centralization. There are properties of pluralism, nation's independence, symbolism, and thoughts in a new religious ritul dress.

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.

Religion and new media are two important factors in contemporary Middle Eastern societies. Media is seen as a relatively newcomer while religion has been and remains an old and core component of the fabric of societies in this region. This article is an attempt to examine the encounter of these two phenomena in the Middle East. It will try to explore the variety of ways by which new media have served religion both positively and negatively, and how religion has taken position for and against media in Middle Eastern countries in general and in the Iranian case in particular. It is also the purpose of this article to look at the different aspects of this relationship between media and religion, analyzing how one affected the other, and how this interaction affected society. It is argued that the outcome of the interaction between religion and media has had a great impact on shaping the social and political culture of the countries in this region including Iran. The dimensions of this impact will determine the outcome of the clash between modernity and tradition in the region.

There are many modern elements in religions appeared in the early Korean modern era. From the nationalism perspective, most religions had tendencies toward anti-feudalism and anti-foreign power. Pak Eun Sik(朴殷植) emphasized the importance to explain those religions as the National Religion in his writing 《Korea Painful History(韓國痛史)》. That is, he realized those as one of Korean spirits or souls keeping Korean identities like the Jew's Judaism or the Turk's Islam. In the paper, I try to analyze religions on Kang Jeung San(姜甑山) with Daesoonjinri-hoe as the central figure from Pak's perspective. In the early Korean modern era when Kang went his own the Savior way, Korea and its society got into uncontrollable confusion because of strong demands both of a feudal-state breaking and against pillaging foreign-power especially Japan. For all countries of the world, it is difficult to change from a feudal state into the modern nation state to keep existing society order. Because the reformation under old social systems means the incomplete reformation. So in this era new religions showed the neglected class of people the vision of new society. Meanwhile Korean society try to become a modern state, and now became a recognized modern state in international society. But it is still insufficient to debate on groups and their roles for Korea modernity in that time especially new religions. Since Korea independence, new religions including Daesoonjinrihoe have not receive good reviews because of a certain religion group expansion and the government's regulation and control toward new religions. Till today, I think, Independence Movement as well as reform of modern awareness have not relatively receive reasonable reviews. So I hope to serve as a momentum that in early Korea modern era new religions receive reasonable and positive reviews.

본 연구는 뉴에이지 사상에 나타난 특성이 애니메이션이라는 대중문화에서 어떻게 표현되고 있으며 그 특징이 대중적으로 어떻게 사용되고 있음을 연구하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 뉴에이지 사상은 뉴에이지 운동과 혼용되어 사용되고 있다. 뉴에이지 사상의 기본적 철학은 '인간의 무한한 잠재력이 인간 자신과 지구를 변화시킴으로 평화와 빛과 사랑의 새시대가 일시에 나타날 것이다'라고 말하는 인본주의에 중심을 두고 있다. 이 사상은 서양의 기독교에 대한 부정과 서구의 비술과 동양사상을 바탕으로 1960년대의 미국의 기존질서를 의심하고 부정하는데서 출발하여 포스트모더니즘의 사상과 반문화운동의 영향을 받아 1970년대에 대체종교로 발전하게 되었다. 하지만, 뉴에이지 사상은 자체적 한계로 인하여 종교적 사상보다는 문화, 평화, 인류의 행복과 치유를 위한 사회운동으로의 변환을 시도하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 뉴에이지 문화에는 본질적인 종교적 특성이 들어있으며 그러한 특성은 대중문화에서 차용하기에 용의하고 침투력도 높다. 종교란 넓은 의미에서 보면 제도화된 기성 종교, 성스럽고 가장 높은 가치를 부여하는 것에 대한 사회적 움직임이나 경향, 그리고 많은 개인들이 갖고 있는 고유한 종교적 믿음과 수행 모두를 포함한다. 종교는 개인에게 삶의 의미와 올바른 방향을 제시하는 한편, 사회질서의 유지와 시회통합에 기여한다는 점에서도 가장 총체적이며 복합적인 문화현상으로 평가된다. 그러한 이유로 종교와 문화는 깊은 상관관계를 가지고 있으며 대중문화가 수용자에게 깊은 감동과 재미를 주기 위해서는 인간의 깊은 의식 속에 숨어 있는 종교적 갈망을 포착하고 들어낼 필요가 있기 때문이다. 본고에서는 뉴에이지의 환생, 환상, 명상, 범신론과 일원론과 같은 특징을 분석하고 이러한 특징이 대중문화와 대중문화를 공부하는 학생들에게 영향을 미치는 것에 대해 분석하고자 한다. 또한, '아바타'를 통하여 애니메이션에서 나타난 뉴에이지사상의 특징을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 다양한 대중문화의 사상적 실체가 되는 종교적 영향력을 재조명하고 다양한 시각으로 대중문화를 바라보는 통찰력을 가지는데 도움이 되었으면 하는 바람이다.

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.

우리에게 불교는 제도종교로 받아들여지는 경향이 강하다. 20세기 중반 이후 그리스도교와 함께 대표적인 제도종교로 받아들여진 역사적 배경 때문일 것이다. 특히 불교는 전통에 기반한 제도종교로 받아들여지고 있다. 불교는 또한 철학으로 받아들여지고 있기도 하다. 철학을 지적 명료함과 삶의 지혜 추구로 정의해온 서양철학적 배경을 수용한다고 해도, 불교는 고타마 붓다가 발견한 진리를 무조건적으로 신봉하지 않고 철학적 비판의 가능성을 충분히 허용한다는 점에서 철학으로 분류되는 일이 충분히 가능하다고 판단할 수 있다. 이와 같은 철학으로서 불교의 가능성은 불교의 철학함(doing philosophy) 가능성으로 직결된다. 불교의 철학함은 일상으로부터의 거리두기와 그 거리를 기반으로 하는 관찰과 집중, 새로운 세계관의 형성 등의 세 과정으로 제시될 수 있고, 이러한 철학함은 후기 자본주의적 일상에 지친 우리의 삶에 명상 같은 방법으로 뿌리를 내리고 있기도 하다. 그럼에도 불교는 종교로서의 속성 또한 분명히 지니고 있고, 바로 이 지점에서 우리는 종교와 철학 사이의 관계를 새롭게 설정해야 한다는 지난한 과제와 마주하게 된다. 그리스도교 문명권의 종교와 철학 사이의 엄격한 분리 전통은 불교를 철학으로 분류하는 일을 꺼리게 하는 요소로 현재까지 작동하고 있다. 철학의 목적에 지적 명료함과 삶의 실천적 지혜 추구를 함께 포함시킬 경우, 불교는 안심(安心)이라는 종교 고유의 기능과 입명(立命)이라는 철학과 종교의 공통 역할을 공유하는 것으로 규정될 수 있다. 그런 점에서 종교와 철학 사이의 관계에 관한 우리의 새로운 관점 모색 또한 중요한 과제일 수 있다.

이 연구에서는 DDC의 종교류(200)를 일관성 있게 전개하기 위한 새로운 보조표를 고안하기 위해, 291.1-291.9에 전개되어 있는 기존의 종교공통구분의 문제점과 DDC의 각 종교간의 세분전개상의 비통일성에 대해 상세히 분석하고, 기존의 다른 분류표와 선행연구에서 제시되거나 제안된 종교공통구분과의 비교분석을 통해, DDC를 위한 새로운 종교공통구분을 제안하였다. 기독교를 포함한 모든 종교에 이 종교공통구분을 통일적으로 일관성 있게 적용할 수 있도록 하기 위해 DDC 기독교류의 재전개방안과 함께 이 종교공통구분의 사용방안에 대해서도 살펴보고, 실례를 통한 검증과 분석을 통해 이 종교공통구분이 실제자료를 분류하는 데 있어 충분한 적응력을 가지며, 기존의 분류기호를 재전개하는 데도 무리 없이 적용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

Various social surveys conducted by mass media and government agencies in recent years in Japan suggest that the percentage of those who believe in religion are between twenty and thirty percent. However, more than seventy percent of Japanese visit Shinto shrines or Buddhist temples during the New year period. Although there are varying interpretations on whether Japanese people are religious or not, detailed research shows the existence of certain religious tendencies among Japanese. I base my estimates on research surveys of college students covering a period of almost ten years. It is helpful for understanding the religiosity of the Japanese to differentiate between "clear-cut religion" and "peripheral religious phenomena." The exact boundary between these two categories, however, is difficult to clearly demarcate. "Clear-cut religion" refers here phenomena which are directly related to established religious organizations such as shrine Shinto, Buddhist sects, or Christianity. "Peripheral religious phenomena" covers such phenomena as fortune telling, mystical phenomena, religious customs and similar matters. It is often said that the younger generations are less concerned with religion. Our seven surveys questioning several thousand college students, conducted between 1995 and 2001, show that only between six and seven percent of the students state that they believe in religion. Additionally, the extent of negative attitudes toward religion quite remarkable. On the other hand, students who take part in conventional ritual such as a New year's visit to a shrine or temple and visiting the graves of ancestors amount to about fifty percentage. In spite of the prevailing negative attitude toward religious groups, these students have apparently kept a certain level of interest in religious customs. Moreover, they show a relatively strong interest in fortune telling, mystical phenomena, or supernatural phenomena. The exact degree of a positive attitude toward peripheral religious phenomena differs according to the level of being informed on these matters. As a whole, they largely rely on information gained from their families and local communities. Therefore, we can conclude that there is a degree of transmission of religious culture among younger generations.
