『주역(周易)』의 회(悔), 린(吝) 의미로 본 스포츠의 무구(无咎) 지향 연구

Abstract

In addition to the existing research of sports ethics, this study discusses ‘reformation’ (改過) with which we can recognize one's fault and reduce trial and error. Reformation is about admitting and correcting mistakes. In this paper, we applied to sports the meaning of repentance (悔), and stinginess (吝) as used in The Book of Change, which ancient sages consulted in the past to correct their mistakes. By doing so a systematic recognition is established to the sport's ethical standards. In The Book of Change, repentance and stinginess represent humble repentance and pride. Humility can fix and improve a fault. Pride, on the other hand, is knowing of a fault and refusing to correct it. This distinction makes us aware of the boundaries in which wrong action in sporting situations can lead to immoral behavior. This is providing the opportunity to orient yourself rightly, even though you have errored unintentionally. This is the no‐blame (无咎) orientation within sports. Therefore, based on the meaning of repentance and stinginess in The Book of Change, in sports, the no‐blame perspective could be an opportunity to enhance the practical morality of sporting activities. In addition, arguing this can inform individuals involved in sports that even if they make a mistake, the opportunity to correct the mistake is always open.
