- Abstract : This study presented the following three hypotheses to analyze the mechanism of generation and ideology factors in North Korea policy and security policy area. First, the assessment of North Korea and its security policy does not change simply linearly according to age. Second, the influence of ideology on North Korea and security policy varies from generation to generation. Third, depending on how the policies are combined, the conditions under which the generation and ideology can exert influence vary. Based on the results of the survey conducted in 2017, this study found the following. First, even after controlling for other factors, the generation born in the 1970s favored the engagement policy toward North Korea than their predecessor or later generations, and they were less supportive of THAAD deployment. Second, ideology influenced policy evaluation toward North Korea in the older generation, but it did not in the younger generation. Third, only ideology variable exerted influence in traditional progressive-conservative policy combinations, age variable was not effective. However, age effect was confirmed instead of ideology when the traditional progressive-conservative policy combinations were staggered. The empirical finding of this study is evidence that the politicized structure of Korea, which is ideologically polarized, is cross-cut at a gentle angle along the generation cleavage.

A Comparative Study on the Meaning of Woman in Kant’s, Fichte’s and Hegel’s Philosophical Theory (2018.06)

- Abstract : In philosophy of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, there is a tension between an idea of universal human equality and gender equality. Kant’s philosophy is considered to have completed the idea of enlightenment but full of contradiction because there is no concept of woman in it. In the case of Fichte, unlike Kant, there are positive aspects in understanding the woman. However, these aspects are cancelled out by the way he assigns too high a value to the man. In Hegel, there remains the philosophical idea of Kant and Fichte, who discriminated women and separated women from the public world. Furthermore, there is only a scanty place for women in his concept of ‘Geist’ that is directed toward the denial of the existing order and the change of the world. Without considering such theoretical tensions, Kant’s, Fichte’s and Hegel’s philosophical ideas (such as universal human rights, universal principles of human being, universal freedom and independence and autonomy of human being, public liberty, humanity, mutual recognition, free and equal citizens, dignity, morality or moral obligation, public use of reason, common legislation, world citizens, etc.) cannot be critically grasped.
