니체와 1950년대 한국 전후 실존주의문학 - 손창섭과 장용학을 중심으로

Abstract

After the Korean War, in the 1950s, Korea felt the devastation of life such as death, anxiety, vainness, absurdity, impermanence of life, meaninglessness, and sought humanism that asked the possibility of a true human life. At that time, Existentialism was introduced into the Korean intellectual world from this periodic background. Existentialism influenced not only the philosophical world but also the formation of postwar existential literature. In this article, I tried to trace the influence of existentialism on the two representatives of postwar literature, Changseop Son and Yonghak Jang, and in particular Nietzsche's influence on this two novelists. In this article, I first looked at the situation of the times and the inflow process of existentialism in the 1950s. Chapter 2 discussed the relationship between postwar existential literature and Nietzsche's thought. Chapter 3 and 4 dealt with the existential literature of Changseop Son and Yonghak Jang and Nietzsche's philosophy. In the case of Changseop Son, he deals with contempt for sick and insulted humans, but on the other hand, he calls Nietzsche and declares that humans are live a sincere and true life, as they pursue heaven, future, and life (power). On the other hand, Yonghak Jang also relies on Sartre, but uses Nietzsche vocabulary such as absence of God, nihilism, dual human definition as creature and creator, loss of self, self-overcoming, and affirmation of life. In postwar existential 275 276 literature, Nietzsche's idea did not stop at asking questions of the times, but also played a philosophical coordinate role in asking human nature and conditions, finding the possibility of realization of humanity and true life, and meaning of life.
