ABSTRACT

Based on the Ki(energy) philosophy of Choi Han-ki, this paper examines the aspects of accompaniment society (Daedong society) that he asserts and examines the possibility of establishing modern Korean-style multiculturalism. Choi Han-ki, a late 19th-century Korean practical science(Silhak) scolar, wanted to see a new world outside the world of Neo-Confucianism. By accumulating knowledge based on experience and extending it to a method of guessing and communication, he designed pneumatics(Kihak) to realize a Daedong society in which the natural energy of society, the world, and heaven and earth circulates and repeats from me. As a prerequisite for understanding Choi Han-ki's philosophy and realizing a multicultural society, the nature of multiculturalism as a flexible 'frame' is first examined, and 'between' in 'inter-' and the subject in between. Next, the concept of Choi Han-ki's ‘Ki philosophy’ and the core elements surrounding it, such as the types and communication methods of experiences, guesses, and rhymes, were reviewed, and ways to realize them were considered by linking them with multiculturalism. In conclusion, it was revealed that multicultural education and global citizenship education through multicultural field experiences are necessary to pursue the expansion of the horizon of perception through the accumulation and expansion of experiences using perception. As a way to establish Korean-style multiculturalism and lead global multiculturalism, Daedong civic education, changes in multicultural policies, and methods for spreading overseas were also briefly suggested. As a follow-up work to these discussions, it was proposed to continuously examine the possibility of establishing Korean-style multiculturalism through Korean ideology and religion.
