[일반논문] 안중근의 동양평화론과 그 성격

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In his theory of Oriental Peace, Ahn Jung Keun agreed in principle "the Theory of Solidarity among the Three East Asian Countries (i.e., Korea, China, and Japan)". This article is to give an explanation of why Ahn supported the Theory of Solidarity. With the rationale in Ahn's theory of Oriental Peace that the independence of Korea was a matter of the highest priority, I argue that his support of the Theory of Solidarity was primarily aimed at preventing Russia from advancing southwards. At the same time, I claim that since his theory of Oriental Peace was based on his belief in the capability of the people to make world peace attainable, the range of a collective peace system he proposed could stretch over the whole world.<br/>
First, examining Ahn's proposal of a permanent peace conference among the three countries, I expatiate on two pretexts for the need for establishing the peace conference. On the one hand, he thought that it would be useful to guard Korea against the aggression of European powers. On the other hand, he wished to make use of it to prevent a quarrel among the three countries. At this juncture, his theory of Oriental Peace appears to be merely parochial.<br/>
Second, I demonstrate the way in which Ahn's view of the people affected his theory of Oriental Peace. For Ahn, the people were not only inseparable from peace process but also important in achieving Eastern as well as world peace. Ahn hold racism in the first place.<br/>
However, he perceived that the people all throughout the world were peaceful, whereby' he finally overcome racism.<br/>
Third, I analyze his view of the West in the theory of Oriental Peace. There are two interwoven policies with respect to the West. In the case that European powers intended to persist in their aggressive policies, Ahn sought to establish a military alliance among the three countries. However, he considered European powers as partners for peace and cooperation to the extent to which he trusted in the actual roles of international laws, international organizations, and inter￢national conferences. Substantially, Ahn's theory of Oriental Peace could be extended to the world if European powers assumed the peaceful.<br/>
Ahn's theory of Oriental Peace primarily aimed at establishing a peace system among the three countries. Nevertheless, the peace system Ahn proposed in his theory of Oriental Peace was expandable to the Southeastern Asia next and Europe eventually. This analysis challenges arguments that Ahn's theory of Oriental Peace is parochial.
