초록

이 논문은 오늘날 자유주의 국제정치의 바탕을 이루는 ‘이익의 조화’ 관념과 이상주의적 사고의 이면에 자리 잡고 있는 ‘최선의 가능한 세계’ 담론의 역사를 다룬다. 라이프니츠에 의해 체계적으로 정리된 이 관념은 선한 존재로서 신이 다양한 가능성 중에 최선의 세계를 창조했음을 드러내고자 하였고, 그럼으로써 인간의 이성을 강조하는 계몽주의의 시대적 요구를 기독교 신학과 통합하였다. 하지만 이러한 이상주의적 세계관에 대한 도전이 점차 거세어졌는데, 이 논문은 볼테르의 비판과 더불어 칸트를 중심으로 하여 ‘최선의 가능한 세계’에 대한 관념이 한층 현실적으로 재구성되는 변화를 추적한다. 이러한 논의를 바탕으로 이 논문은 ‘최선의 가능한 세계’ 관념이 오늘날 국제정치 패러다임의 주류를 형성하고 있는 자유주의적 접근과 관련하여 어떤 의미와 한계를 갖는지를 이론적으로 검토한다.

Abstract

This paper discusses the history of discourse on the best of all possible worlds which has resided behind the notions of harmony of interests and utopian worldviews. The notion of the best of all possible worlds, which was theorized by Gottfried W. Leibniz, was intended to show how the God, who is the goodness itself, chose and created this world as the best possible among many scenarios. This way was how Leibniz integrated the Christian theodicy upon the newly emerging demands for human reason from the Enlightenment. The paper also explains the counteractions against the notion of the best of all possible worlds, by Voltaire and Immanuel Kant who tried to restructure the notion into a more realistic one. The paper extends the theoretical implications of the best of all possible worlds to the liberal approach which has become a major paradigm in international relations.
