創世神話의 變異 樣相과 神話史的 位相

Abstract

Shin, Tae-soo, 2007, Alteration Aspect of the World- creating Myth and its Myth-historical Status, URIMALGEUL: The Korean Language and Literature 39, pp.167～194. The World-creating myth has been altered while going through three periods(era); that is, the period when, at the beginning, only wild viewpoint appeared all the time, the other when the viewpoint of civilization began to filter into, and then the another one when the viewpoint of civilization began to settle down as a common source of myth.They says that, in the era(period) when only wild viewpoint had acted on, there was no discrimination in all things in nature. Non-discriminating present situation has took root in long cognitive system, which is the very symmetrical world view. On the other hand, with the viewpoint of civilization having filtered into the world-creating myth, the symmetrical world view begins to be cracked. As the viewpoint of civilization appears through the Buddhist world view and the Confucian world view, it's found that finally both the Buddhist world view and the Confucian world view attack the symmetrical world view.The speakers of World-creating myth have considered that classification and distinction about World-creating myth have been spread with coming down the ‘after-generations’, and it has been come close to the whole mind with going up the beginning of the world. When supposing that classification and distinction mean artificial fabrication, the whole mind indicates natural idle state and, so to speak, corresponds to its just ‘Doui’(morality) in ‘Doga’(道家). After all, it seems that the speakers of World-creating myth, on the basis of ‘Do’, have deplored civilized society being full of artificial fabrication. (Kyungil University)
