동아시아 문화의 타자성과 한문소설의 문화교육적 가치

Abstract

The ego(self) mythology of today pedagogy had established in 17th century by the subject of the eastern modernity who has believed that idea as an unchangeable “Magna Carta”. After the era, the ultimate goal the eastern pedagogist has pursued was concentrated on strengthening the educatee's immature ego for attaining healthy individuality. But at the time when the eastern ego-centrism was collapsed, the traditional eastern pedagogy focusing only on the strengthening ego and the development of cognitive ability has to be revised. So we, Asian scholars, are charged with the mission for mutating the ego-centric subject to altrui-centric one. The East Asian culture has preferred the plastic subject reconciliable with other existences in this universe to the concrete one. Thought this traditional quality of East Asia culture was the main reason making them fall behind the eastern one in the modern times, especially at the time when the modern subject has to be deconstructed creatively, that characteristics was relieved as a significant tradition has to be researched and excavated newly. We, identifying these new phases as the altruism of the East asian culture, believe that the Asian traditional altruism will give a next chance or alternative to all humankind through the ex-colonialism without rolling in clumsy nationalism. On the basis of these theoretical schemes, we would cast a look at the novel genre which has been developed as the most ego-centered work. And we would present the historical fact that Korean traditional novels have been formed from the trans-egoistic ground that transcends the ego-centrism of the modern eastern novels. This suggests that the diaspora appeared in the East asian literature could disrupt the cultural system of the east has focused only on the ego-centered life. From this point of view, the East asian traditional novels including various asian novels in Chinese letters could be estimated as a new model for cultural education.
