팬데믹[코로나19]에 대처하는 『주역(周易)』의 방도―의리적 인문학적 방법을 중심으로―

Abstract

I-ching (周易) is a book that comes from a human being’s anxiety (憂患). Therefore, it is natural to find a way to overcome humanity’s anxiety (憂患)[pandemic] in I-ching (周易). This article is written in consideration of the generality presented to the community from a humanities point of view of what the method is. A prior study viewed anxiety as a concern where rational fear or morality is not performed, and called it a voluntary sense of self-responsibility to overcome it. However, he said that such standards were too idealistic and realistic to ignore ‘middle anxiety (中間 憂患)’ that needed to be adjusted. Existing studies have shown ‘philosophical treatment (哲學治療)’ methods, drawing attention. I did not choose to use the analysis of the ‘Samjin Gudeokgwae (三陳九德卦)’ method, which was conducted in the previous study, but sought ways to cope with disasters through eight difficult, favorable and opposite trigrams. As it is now a major disaster targeting humanity, I thought that it would be better to analyze the trigrams rather than the change of hyo (爻), so through gwaemyeong (卦名), gwaesa (卦辭), we grasped the way of dealing with the evils and the logic of disaster response. As a result, three were extracted. First virtue (德), second self-esteem (自尊感), and third consideration (配慮心). Virtue includes coping with future changes, self-esteem comes from humility (謙遜), and consideration includes consideration for nature and consideration for the non-face-to-face society (비대면 사회) and Self consideration (자기 배려). This is not the primary response to disasters, but it was seen as a secondary solution that affected people’s words and actions and thoughts. I examined whether predicting the future (divination: 占) is effective as a disaster response method. Although individuals can refer to their actions as a result of predicting how to cope with a disaster, there is a problem in applying the results of a certain person’s divination as a method of this disaster.
