ABSTRACT

I assert that our society requests a social ideology which can resolve so many social conflicts and fulfill social transformation and integration. The purpose of this study prove adequacy of ideology which was found in Donghak·Chondogyo’s social movements. And after that I can be recognize its possibilities and limitations, also I can be find out its future tasks of as an ideology for social change and configuration. Because Donghak·Chondogyo’s social movements were given much weight absolutely in our modern time. So we can’t deny the fact that the Donghak revolution and samil independence movement, new cultural movement etc. were contributed to modernize our society totally. I insist on that Donghak·Chondogyo’s religious objectives that is, podeokcheonha(布德天下), boguganmin(輔國安民), gwangjechangsaeng(廣濟蒼生) etc. can be an alternative plan that change and unify wholly human being and society, nature and nation, culture and civilization. At the same time it can be a universal ideology that have to seek for social justice. In this research I will prove that Donghak·Chondogyo’s ideology for social change and integration is an universal ideology for just life of human beings. For proving it, first, I will try to generalize Donghak·Chondogyo’s social movement historically. Second, I will evaluate it by the viewpoint of social ethics. Third, I will examine and limit its concept. Fourth, I will suggest the future tasks of Donghak·Chondogyo’s social ideology.
