한일 역사화해의 전개 과정 — ‘책임론적 화해’에서 ‘포용론적 화해’로 —

Abstract

After the defeat of Japan and the liberation of Korea in 1945, Korea-Japan relations have been gradually developed by the political action of political leaders for historical reconciliation, and Korea and Japan relations will continue to be renewed through another historical reconciliation. The first historical reconciliation was the normalization of diplomatic relations under the Korea-Japan Claims Agreement of 1965, and the second historical reconciliation was the Partnership Declaration of 1998. I call the former “Korea-Japan Reconciliation 1.0”, the latter “Korea-Japan Reconciliation 2.0”, and the third historical reconciliation in the future “Korea-Japan Reconciliation 3.0”. This treatise outlines the process of historical reconciliation between Korea and Japan since its liberation in 1945. Focusing on the time when the gradual transformation took place, I will deal with the philosophical foundations that underpin the historical reconciliation of each stage. What should be noted here is that from 1945 to the present, the philosophical foundation of historical reconciliation between Korea and Japan was “responsible reconciliation,” and political leader to implement Korea-Japan Reconciliation 3.0 in the future is required to have a new philosophical foundation called “inclusive reconciliation.”
