근대 풍속 계몽담론 소고

Abstract

The cultural perspective of modern enlightenment intellectuals plans to inspire the modern consciousness of people as the subject of modern nation-state by constantly spreading the enlightenment discourse of custom, not disrupting, converting or revising the traditional culture. Above all, as I previously discussed, the object of the plan is based on the enlightenment intellectuals' recognition of harsh reality. The sense of duty going beyond the sense of responsibility is able to contain multi-sided perspectives as it is derived from the recognition of sheer reality. Consequently, the enlightenment intellectuals have sharp insights that the innovation and change from enlightening aspects is necessary, if the traditional culture which our former generations have considered is going against modernity. In this respect, the one-sided consideration pursuing the unconditional and blind directivity of Western imitation needs to be complemented. In addition, it is worthwhile to note that the structural aspect of native autochthonic movement appears. As the native autochthonic movement suggests the awareness intention which is compared with the sense of duty going beyond the intellectuals' sense of responsibility, it is essentially accompanied by the complete recognition of harsh reality from the aspect of inspiring modern national consciousness. The foundation of modern enlightenment intellectuals' movement suggests an undertone of patriotism (the construction of an independent country) in the national consciousness of crisis. However, I believe, it is important that the planning of subjective self-formation which the intellectuals desire to pursue is clearly found, in spite of the limited assessment in which other people's perspective is exposed.
