탈형이상학적 시대 안에서 본 인간에 대한 고찰 -휴머니즘의 미래적 전망-

Abstract

Before the advent of the '4th Technical Revolution', which has gone further in the so-called 'Informatization Revolution', humans are embarrassed by themselves. Is human being, indeed, the subject of technology use? If so, how and in what ways can we control and regulate the so-called 'technum(the system of technology)'? The core contents of these questions imply that the concept of the traditional reason can neither mediate the reality nor underlie the realistic morality or ethical consciousness. The concept of the traditional reason here presupposes a metaphysical framework. And it can be said that the skepticism of such a framework represents the post-metaphysical tendency that emerged across modern times. In this paper, we will highlight the problems of traditional humanism that we still accept as 'explicitly or implicit' even though it is in a post-metaphysical age and also discuss the future prospects of the concept of humanism in the late modern times. Based on this premise, this paper proceeds with the following process. First, I will try to explain the concept of 'post-metaphysics' in the late modern period, when modernization was deeply progressed and discuss its meaning. Second, with the results of the first section at the center, we examine the problems of humanism that have traditionally been developed, trying to understand the concept of human being in the post-metaphysical time and space. Third, we will predict the future prospects of new humanism that can overcome the problems of traditional humanism. In particular, in this section I will discuss the possibility of designing new humanism to come and its limitations.
