율곡철학 기반의 웰에이징 철학교육 필요성 - 철학실천적 웰에이징 철학교육 프로그램 연구 = The Need for Well-Aging Philosophy Education Based on Yulgok Philosophy: A Study on Philosophical Practical Well-Aging Philosophical Education Program

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper diagnosed that the elderly in Korea, a super-aged society, are not comfortable, and saw that the fundamental reason for this comes from the absence of philosophical thinking and philosophical life on issues such as human existence, emotions, and relationships. Therefore, philosophical well-aging was newly defined by adding philosophical meaning to the existing meaning of well-aging. And he suggested a philosophical education program based on the ontology, mind theory, and cultivation theory of Yulgok philosophy, as he saw the need for philosophical education for well-aging across all generations.
Yulgok's discussions of ‘harmonious sum of li and qi’, ‘li is universal and qi is individual’, and ‘qi works and li rides’ help to think about the transcendence of the human mind and the limitations of the body as a theoretical basis for the universe and human existence. In addition, through theories on the structure and action of the mind, the theory of the mind, such as ‘heart, nature, affection, and righteousness are in order’, allows us to understand the feelings of ourselves and others, consideration and empathy, as well as the possibility of conflict and antagonism, and to think about its resolution. Yulgok emphasized a philosophical and practical life, and he suggested specific methods of cultivation through texts such as Seonghakjipyo and Gyeokmongyogyeol, and emphasized that the effects of life should be revealed concretely through g thought.
The well-aging philosophy education program presented based on this Yulgok philosophy can help all generations think about the philosophical meaning of well-aging in a super-aged society and suggest specific ways to live.
