초록

Seok Hun Ham's Analyzing Korean History by its Meaning is the only book that looks at the meaning and the origin of human history within Korean Christianity, and the historical philosophy of its process and purpose. But Seok Hun Ham's book has its own distinct genealogy of thought. It is a historical philosophy development of the 2nd generation of Non-church thought and the Christian perspective of his teacher, Uchimura Ganzo. This paper would analyze the historic-philosophical development of Non-Church, by comparatively analyzing Seok Hun Ham's writings with Uchimura's Theory of Human and Geography and Huji-i Takeshi's Analyzing Japan through the Bible, in order to evaluate his individuality within the historical philosophy. The historical philosophy of Japanese Non-Churchism is fundamentally based on Western modernism, and a search to find the Japanese identity and national establishment within the framework of imperialistic nationalism. But for Seok Hun Ham, a man from colonized Chosun, could not get out of this rule of game based on Westernism, as long as he stayed within the historic-philosophical framework that does not recognize the self-existence of the socially weak. The demand for epistemological change was achieved a shift from substantial existentialism to relational existentialism. The modern world values only the western experience of modernism and thus divides the world as the core and periphery. In this framework, individual beings have fought for survival in order to secure the core that ensures power to pushed others to the periphery, if not out of the game. This survival game demands that individuals threaten, rule, and exploit others in order to win. But Seok Hun Ham achieves an entirely new paradigm of a perfected love through ‘suffering’ upon a relational existentialism. This new paradigm dismantles the rules of substantial existentialism that supports modern Westernism. In a relational existentialism there is no core or periphery. ‘I’ exist through others, and others exist through oneself. There is no difference or distinction between oneself and others. What matter's is not the centralism, but rather the relationship. It's not a competition to take the core, but in a way that is non-threatening, it's focused on creating a new relationship that benefits both sides. Such mutually beneficial relationship is not established by pursuing power, but rather by emptying power. Through such epistemological shift of view, Seok Hun Ham reaches a very different understanding of human and the world, apart from the historical philosophy of Japanese Non-church. He reached the though of freedom not as independence but as the ability to love, participation in human history not by exerting power against others but by voluntary self-sacrifice in ‘suffering’, imperialistic nationalism rather than world civic regionalism, and universality not based on Westernism but based on pluralistic universality. Seok Hun Ham's historical philosophy give a single answer to the questions of the post-modern thought and practice.
