박동환의 3표론과 현대 차이의 철학

Abstract

In a comparative philosophical perspective, Park Donghwan has systematically reconstructed the three criteria (models or paradigms) that shape respectively Occidental, Chinese, and Korean ways of life, the criteria that ground and organize three different traditions in their social, linguistic, and metaphysical structures. In this paper which aims at not only analyzing the main points of Park's discourse on the three criteria but also exposing its epoch-making originality. I will focus first of all on the ontology developed in it, and explain its basic characteristics by way of a cross-checking comparison between Park's philosophy and contemporary philosophies of difference like Heidegger, Derrida, and Deleuze. My second focus will be placed on the new model that Park's discourse has left behind in pursuing a singular way of deconstructive comparative study; and I will try to expose its originality around its archeological research into the authentic meaning that the East should have in the philosophy of history, the meaning of which remains distorted in the Occidental discourse on the Weltnacht such as Hegel's and Heidegger's ones, or even in Deleuze's geophilosophical discourse on the East-West relation. My last focus will be put on the affect of Han(恨), where Park's philosophical discourse meets with the grotesque realism of Ki Hyungdo's poems; in this place, I will argue that the Han would be regarded as a transcendental affect, which, combined with the ontological structure of the third criterion's world, could compete with the other transcendental ones conditioned by the structures of the first's and second's worlds such as (Bad)Conscience and In (仁).
