ABSTRACT

Nowadays the post-centric trends require our attention in two points of view. In the one hand, there is no absolute center considering absolute self. There is no unique true world, but many different worlds that are formed in the context of life timely and spacely, and so it is required an open conversation among worlds of knowledge. In the other hand, there is a reflective point on the cultural power of human to transform our world. If the way of various centristic thoughts such as self-centrism, ethnocentrism, human-centrism, and logocentrism make our human and nature into a status of crisis, it deserves to be desperately claimed that those centristic attitudes should be criticized and other alternative attitudes be searched. The purpose of this research is that the major task of Christian organic intellectuals is to adopt the universal useful values among our traditional thoughts and tried to suggest and practise them. Though this process, we may find an alternative how to build up the subjectivity of thought under the situation that we hardly meet creative intellectuals suggesting our way in spite of prevailing post-discourses of western style. This paper is to emphasize that the intellectuals have to free from the colonialized circumstances of thought and look straight at our historical and down-to-earth issues, and elucidate them by ourselves. First of all, this researcher asserts that our intellectuals should make efforts to come up against our historical and realistic situations liberated from the colonialized status which the knowledge and life do not get along well, and expound our problems for ourselves. Secondly, after this researcher insist that we should be instructed by our language so as to arrange content of our lives in order, from this standpoint I investigate the structure of our language and the view of world streaming under that structure. Thirdly, this researcher have confidence that the grammar of our lives is ‘making a living’, and so intent to suggest that we intellectuals should regard ‘making a living’(emptying, serving, sharing), as an alternative value which we have to practise in the era of globalism. In this place, especially, I recommend Daseok(多夕) Ryu, young-mo for our authentic christian intellectual.
