대순사상의 인간이해

Religious Though includes desirable attitudes towards existence of human beings and the value of life. These can be considered as the viewpoint of human being in religions. Also, the recognition frame of human being should be focused on the desirable human formation. That is, human being should not be viewed by already established frames, but human beings should be regarded as the ones that by themselves can build their true figures through developing human nature with the self-awareness of existence and the effort for establishing an ideal character. Without the correct concept of a ‘human model’, it is impossible to shed light on what the process of the human formation is and how the human formation willbe established. A ‘human model’, that is the goal of such a formation, might show different aspects if considering the historical situations including the circumstance of individuals and society. However, no matter how different ‘human model’, which are dependent upon phenomenal problems, are considered, it might most likely fails to grasp a fundamental issue without a ‘human model’ based on the essential problem of human being. In this regards, it can be considered that a ‘Perfect person’ with including both fundamental ways and relations of existence is the one enabling to establish a true ‘human model’ and, I try to show its striking example, ‘Injon’ that is an ideal ‘human model’ of Daesoon Thought. Therefore, this paper will show the interpretation and understanding of human beings in Daesoon Thought, and examine what their meanings are.
