Abstract

The change into the 4th industrial revolution era with the characteristics of hyper-connection and hyper-intelligence is the irreversible time flow, which has begun already. The hyper-intelligence of artificial intelligence asks for finding the uniqueness and identity of human beings from places other than intelligence. And the future community where human and human, human and machine, and machine and machine are hyper-connected by transcending the time and space through the advanced ICT, asks us for the new community spirit and the upgraded ability to resolve conflicts. The preparation for the time change is essential for maintaining the continuity of human beings. Therefore, our society should ask for the humanity education that could cultivate the talent suitable for the 'hyper-connected' and 'hyper-intellectualized'' 4th industrial revolution era as the preparation for maintaining the continuity of human beings. Thus, the author suggested the main contents of Yangming studies as the original thought for humanity education that could meet the above needs. First, the innate knowledge that is the core concept of Yangming studies is the 'mind of empathy' creating suitable behaviors by empathizing with others. This is the core of humans' uniqueness that could not be replaced with the hyper-intellectualized artificial intelligence. Thus, the humanity education should pursue the education in which the innate knowledge has been revealed as an empathic ability. Second, the method of clarifying the principle of nature and removing selfish human desires that preserves/enhances the innate knowledge has the important significance as a method of humanity education to resolve social conflicts and also to cultivate humans that live together with others/community in the 4th industrial revolution era in which the relations of community get more complex and diversified. Third, in the community of the 4th industrial era composed of the complex connections and mutually-close relations, the relational self-realization is the goal of the future humanity education. The saint that has reached the boundary of the unity of the world through the relations with all the objects by realizing the innate knowledge has the value of humanity education as a complete model of humanity education realizing the relational ego in the community of the hyper-connected 4th industrial era.
