조소앙의 사회주의 인식에 나타난 삼균주의의 변용적 사유: 윤리적 정당화와 종교적 내러티브를 중심으로

Abstract

This article is one of the foundations of Jo Soang's The Principle of Three Equalities and sets out the characteristics of acceptance of traditional and foreign ideas revealed in his perception and use of 'socialism' in the late 1910s and early 1920s as justification of ethical values and religious arguments. This article concerns one of the foundations of Jo So-ang’s The Principle of Three Equalities and sets out the characteristics of acceptance of traditional and foreign ideas revealed from his perception and use of “socialism” in the late 1910s and early 1920s as a justification of ethical values and religious arguments. The main text reviewed for this purpose is the second issue of Jeokjabo (赤字報), the organ of the Socialist Party, a political party organized by Jo So-ang, who was dispatched to Paris for flexible diplomatic activities by the Provisional Government. Although the author had no choice but to approach it indirectly through research analyzing unpublished data, I believed that his “method of using socialism” for the independence struggle during this period became the basis for understanding the transformative reasons for Samgyunism in the future. He attempted to organize the struggle for independence through a way of thinking that the core values pursued could be fundamentally unified by integrating and transforming heterogeneous worldviews without hesitation. These characteristics appear in the second issue of Jeokjabo as the application of the tasks of the time through the transformation of foreign and traditional ideas, the transformation of political ideology and religious mentality, and the practical expansion of East Asia’s anti-imperialist and antifeudal political strategy. In conclusion, the author argues that the cross-sectional characteristics of the recognition and use of “socialism” at a time when the revolutionary passion of the young Jo So-ang stood out can be interpreted as “metamorphosis of thought.”
