왕수인과 빅터 프랭클의 ‘나’에 대한 의미 비교 연구 - 양명학의 ‘양지’와 로고테라피의 ‘양심’을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study compared the meaning of ‘me’ focusing on the ideologies of Wang Shouren who established Yangmingism and Viktor Frankl who established Logotherapy. Wang Shouren and Viktor Frankl accessed through Yangji and Conscience, which are their own mediums respectively and showed differences. However, they have something in common in that the status of humans become an autonomous beings. In order to gain a thorough understanding of Yangmingism and Logotherapy, the following aspects are reviewed as part of the comparative study. First, it covers the definitions of Yangji and Conscience, the relationships with religious property, the instruction methods of Yangmingism and counseling techniques of Logotherapy. It also covers the investigation of things based on self-awareness, autonomous parts of humans, and the adjustment of objectivity. This is helpful to understand humans in modern times. The ideologies of Yangmingism and Viktor Frankl are not the same. However, both of them say humans are encouraged to lead autonomous life through self-awareness by the experience of existence, and are beings to live to maintain the dignity of qualitative value. These enable humans not only to return autonomously and actively from other-directed and oppressive aspects through the essence and values of ‘Me’, but also to make ethical choices that enhance the quality of oneself and keep the grace of personality in the moral blind spot of the social community that social laws and disciplines cannot reach.
