A Posthuman Socio-Ethical Direction: from a Perspective of the Third World Theology

DONG HWAN KIM

This article primarily examines the existence of the posthuman as a human being enhanced by cuttingedge technologies through the prefix ‘post’, and through the same terminological analysis, investigates the aspects of the post-modern/post-Corona era in which posthumans live. Based on this background study, what it intends to focus on is that the conflict structure between the first and third worlds exists not only in the modern era, but also in the postmodern/post-Corona era. With this awareness, this article attempts to find a clue for resolving the first world/third world conflict structure in the 21st century through three precedents in the 20th century. The first attempt is through the eclectic position of John C. Bennett. The second is through James H. Cone’s mediating position. The third is through the preparation of the way for the Lord, which Bonhoeffer suggested. Throughout this research process, it conclusively proposes that whether in the 20th or in the 21st centuries, the persistent subordinate structure can be realistically dismantled only when humans with power in the first world voluntarily recognize and act on problems.
