ABSTRACT

The study focuses on proposing Laozi’s philosophy to understand the causes of conflicts in Korean society and presents a solution centered around the role of a leader and the qualities required for conflict resolution in multicultural settings. 1. Understanding the Causes of Conflicts: The study examines the causes and types of conflicts in Korean society. By drawing on the ideas of daodejing, it aims to gain a deeper understanding of the causes of conflicts, including conflicts in Korean society as a whole and conflicts within multicultural societies. 2. The Role of a Leader in Multicultural Conflict Resolution: From a philosophical standpoint, the study analyzes the required social spirit to solve the conflicts arising in multicultural societies. It suggests that the resolution of conflicts in a multicultural society necessitates the presence of a leader at the forefront. 3. Ideal Leadership Model: By delving into Laozi’s teachings, particularly concepts like the ‘saint’ and ‘goodness,’ the study examines the qualities and attitudes that political and administrative executives, working to address and solve these conflicts, should possess. Laozi’s teachings are presented as a model for conflict resolution.
