생태윤리로서 효 개념의 보편가치 가능성

Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the ecological ethical aspect of the concept of filial piety and its potential as a universal value. The UNESCO Declaration of the Ethical Principles of Climate Change includes: 1. Prevention of harm, 2. Proactive approach, 3. Equity and justice, 4. Sustainable development, 5. Scientific knowledge and integrity in decision-making, 6. Science and technology and innovation. In the Philosophical Ethics Bureau, there are three issues of universal ethics in the 21st century: the possibility of universal values ​​that exist in common among different cultures, the discovery of universal values ​​that help to solve the problem of sharing global villages, and the creation of universal values ​​for the future society. I have raised an issue. This issue is an essential review for seeking sustainable development in the global environment. Confucian ethics are characterized by extensibility based on methodological discrimination, and thus their method limits as universal ethics. If the concept of filial piety as a specific virtue of human ideology as a characteristic of the ethics of confucius, the fundamental approach to the concept of filial piety as the basis of philosophical ideology can be an important key to confirm the universal value of philanthropy. In addition, the generalization of the individual-centered way of thinking that has recently emerged has emphasized the pursuit of temporal happiness in human life. This aspect is realized as an idea not to extend the burden of temporal life to the generation of children. This phenomenon shakes the premise of the traditional ethical consciousness that combined parental and child generations with the virtue of filial piety, and at the same time implies the limitations of the practical approach of the concept of filial piety. Thus, by reviewing the historically unfolded practical use cases of the concept of filial piety and its transition patterns, and confirming that its emphasis has changed according to the times, it is intended to seek the fundamental definition of filial piety from the level of global ethics beyond the limits that were valid in East Asian culture. Filial piety concept started with close mutual respect and cooperation between generations, expanded the connection between generations and the scope of social application, and developed into a metaphysical concept in the Song Dynasty. Here, what the writer pays attention to is the concept of filial piety defined in the dimension of ethnic conservation. In particular, considering the trend of inevitably requesting a close connection between the existing and future generations in the recent discussion of 'the tragedy of the commons', the value of ethnic preservation found in the origin of the concept of filial piety meets the condition as a universal ethics.
