인류세 유학의 모색: 지층에 투영한 인류의 자찬묘비명

Abstract

Humans, as species, have a hunch of their own death. A message of warning is heard from the all-round aspect surrounding the survival of mankind. There must have been a vague fear of an unknown future, an ontological fear that someday it will die, in any era or region. However, it cannot but be pointed out that the characteristic of today's thing is that humanity itself believes that the cause of death lies in itself. The fact that the end of mankind is not due to transcendental and external factors such as God's will, but to its own actions, underlying the active discussion over the yet-unrecognized layer signature of "Anthropocene" that distinguishes the geological age. The discourse on the Anthropocene is a topic that has not been dealt with much in the Korean oriental philosophy community. In this paper, I attempt to deal with the eco-philosophy in the discourse of Anthropocene, and in a little more detail, the Confucian eco-philosophy. To this end, he first presented the need for a self-descriptive narrative called "Self-Written Epitaph", and critically looked at a group of Confucian philosophical ecological discourses conducted in the past in terms of Chinese environmental history. Through this critical work, it is hoped that the thoughts of Confucian philosophy will be newly read and operated in a practical context in the study for the future.
