문학치료학의 학문적 특성과 인문학의 새로운 전망

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the scientific characteristics of literary therapeutics and the new prospects of humanities. The focus is the possibility of diagnosis, prediction, and dealing with. The results of this paper are as follows. First, the kernels of literary therapeutics are the epic of literary work and the epic of self. A literary work is based on the epic of literary work, and a life is based on the epic of self. The epic of literary work and the epic of self give and take influences mutually. Paying attention to these, literary therapeutics became a science of diagnosis, prediction, and dealing with. Second, unlike literary researches literary therapeutics moved the focus from imagination to epic. If we are focusing on imagination, diagnosis, prediction, and dealing with are not possible works, but if we are focusing on epic, these are possible works. Third, in order to become the science of diagnosis, prediction, and dealing with, the historical science must move the focus from fact to epic. Fourth, in order to become the science of diagnosis, prediction, and dealing with, philosophy must move the focus from thought to epic. Fifth, through introducing the epic of literary therapeutics, literary researches, the historical science, and philosophy will share imagination, fact, and thought. By that way humanities will grow rapidly.
