동양 윤리를 활용한 대학생 인성교육 활성화 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

University students have a responsibility to lead the era of the fourth industrial revolution. They need to innovate science and technology and must be the pioneer of the coming new century. However, the future society predicts the dark shadow of ‘human alienation’. This is why we need to pay attention to personality education, in which college students proactively establish their identities, smooth relationships with others, and foster attitudes and actions for the realization of harmonious community. Eastern ethics systematically and metaphysically reveals how a person establishes an independent self, what it should harmonize with each other, and what kind of life it should lead in the community. For a survival strategy in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in order to develop the era of science and technology for humans, we need to learn ‘the essence of human dignity ethics’ inherent in Eastern ethics to broaden the universal culture of college students and recognize the importance of humans, neighbors and the community. This article inferred the virtues required to cultivate the personality of college students by re-examining Eastern ethics represented by Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist scholars. And we discussed how desirable it is to foster Eastern ethics for college students. These interests and efforts should be made continuously and systematically for the diversification and internalization of personality education. Above all, these attempts will serve as the foundation for college students to establish their own identities and form ideal interpersonal relationships with others, and will provide a clue for them to live as human beings in their lives in the future.
