화이트헤드 철학에 있어서 종교와 신 문제 = God and Religion in Whitehead's philosophy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

My purpose of this study is to find out the possibility of overcoming the challenge of the modern philosophy to the religious philosophy and restoring the latter by investingating Whitehead's religious viewpoint.
By Whitehead, religion is force of belief cleansing the inward parts, and it exhibits four factors or sides of itself in human history. These factors are ritual, emotion, belief, rationalization.
According to Whitehead, religion requires a metaphysical backing, for its authority is endangered by the intensity of the emotions which it generates.
In the Whitehead's metaphysical system, analogously to all actual entities, the nature of God is dipolar. He has a primordial nature and a consequent nature.
In conclusion, to Whitehead the nature of God is dipolar, that is, primordial and consequent. Traditionally God in primordial nature is easily accepted. God in consequent nature, however, is very innovative.
So Whitehead's viewpoint will open new horizon which makes possible the significant dialogue and encounter with traditional concepts of God.
