소춘 김기전의 소년해방운동과 교육의 이상

Abstract

This study discusses the background of his educational thoughts and its characteristics by dividing Sochun Kim Ki-jeon’s educational ideas into the days of “Maeil Shinbo” and the days of editor-in-chief of “Gaebyeok”. In the process, it was also examined that Rousseau’s theory of education had a considerable influence. In the end, however, there was Donghak(東學)’s view of children as “children are Divine(Hanulnim)”, and Haewol(海月 崔時亨, 1827-1898)’s idea of “reverence” as a new principle of life. While thinking of education as human architecture, he designed the vision and tried to embody it in everyday life. In fact, he struggled fiercely to constantly implement such ideas in his own life, not just as a theory. The ideal he dreamed of was the ideal of self-transcendence and self-completion, and it was the unified personality with ‘Divinity(Hanul)’ and the awareness of ‘infinity’ within himself. In this process, his youth liberation movement was not just the idea of respecting children and treating children equally, but a human liberation movement that treated all people without discrimination, and furthermore, it was an ecological liberation movement to treat all life without discrimination. Therefore, it was not a simple liberation movement or a social reform movement, but a civilizational “gaebyeok movement(開闢運動)”. In the process, the most important thing he paid attention to was ‘reverence’. This clearly shows that he is more faithfully inheriting the principles of life of ‘Donghak’ such as ‘Sainyeocheon(事人如天)’, ‘Yangcheonju(養天主)’ and ‘Samkyung(三 敬)’ of Haewol.
