초록

Ecological consciousness is frequently implied in Korean folk tales. The Korean ancients regarded animals as symmetrical with humans,meaning that animals are constituents of the other half of the world,corresponding with humans. Farm animals are depicted as feeling the pain of labor and domestic animals longing for freedom. Animals'love for their families are described just as true as that of humans for their families. Humans are transformed into animals and vice versa. Thus, Korean folk tales show a world where humans and animals are equal and interconnected. The tales involving tigers indicate that humans and tigers care for and respect each other. Tigers serve as a symbol for nature,constituting part of the world in which human beings live. Even though tigers are viewed as the creatures to be awed and feared,they are also respected as equal beings living in their community. In the folk takes, circles of causality exist between human beings and the nature. Good deeds of humans cause good results, and evils produce damaging outcomes. However, something good from human perspective sometimes generates evil effects on nature in the tales,revealing the ancients' belief that humans should not arbitrarily disturb the ecosystem. This paper examines cases of ecological awareness shown in Korean folk tales and thereby rediscovers their implications for ecological ethics in the present world.

Abstract

Ecological consciousness is frequently implied in Korean folk tales. The Korean ancients regarded animals as symmetrical with humans,meaning that animals are constituents of the other half of the world,corresponding with humans. Farm animals are depicted as feeling the pain of labor and domestic animals longing for freedom. Animals'love for their families are described just as true as that of humans for their families. Humans are transformed into animals and vice versa. Thus, Korean folk tales show a world where humans and animals are equal and interconnected. The tales involving tigers indicate that humans and tigers care for and respect each other. Tigers serve as a symbol for nature,constituting part of the world in which human beings live. Even though tigers are viewed as the creatures to be awed and feared,they are also respected as equal beings living in their community. In the folk takes, circles of causality exist between human beings and the nature. Good deeds of humans cause good results, and evils produce damaging outcomes. However, something good from human perspective sometimes generates evil effects on nature in the tales,revealing the ancients' belief that humans should not arbitrarily disturb the ecosystem. This paper examines cases of ecological awareness shown in Korean folk tales and thereby rediscovers their implications for ecological ethics in the present world.
