다석 유영모의 없이 계신 하나님 연구 ― 개방성과 무규정성, 생성과 비시원성의 비실체론적 자기 계시로서의 신론

Abstract

With the question of how Koreans have met, understood, and stated the ultimate reality, and the premise that culturally constructed theology will contribute to a holistic theological statement about the ultimate reality, this thesis studies the understanding of God of existence and non-existence as found in the thought of Da-seok Yoo Young-mo. Da-seok seeks an encounter with the ultimate reality through the encounter understood by the oriental concept of nothingness(무, 無) and emptiness(공, 空) and the practice of self-emptying. The God of existence and non-existence in Da-seok’s thinking is revealed through a deconstructive process and philosophical approach. God is not presented as a substantive understanding of a ‘greater being’ that hierarchically divides ‘non-existence’ and ‘existence’ and posits the separation of God and the world. Rather, it is presented as a non-substantive understanding that assumes the indistinguishability between God and the world by viewing ‘nonexistence’ as ‘infinitely great’. In this thesis, the four main characteristics of this non-substantive understanding of God of existence and non-existence are as follows: deconstructive openness and indefiniteness, and processphilosophical becoming and non-orientability. From a non-substantial point of view, God of existence and non-existence is a God who is united with the world through the deconstruction and self-denial in relation to the world. Furthermore, deconstructive openness and indefiniteness, the becoming of process-philosophy and the non-orientability of God are presented as the selfrevelation of God, who seeks to be united with the world. This understanding of the God of existence and non-existence shows the possibility of being presented as ontological nihilism that appears due to the separation of God and the world today.
