ABSTRACT

This research provides ethics with the unified reflections for reality so that it may contributes to the interdisciplinary studies in the humanities. The purpose of this study is to illuminate the solidarity between individual and social evil. This attempt can deal more profoundly with the reality of evil which appears in human existence and social structure. This research on the solidarity between human existence and social structure clarifies the relation between cultural science and social science, as it were, anthropology and history. Human being and social reality are mutually dependent and regulate with each other. Evil is at once a human and a social phenomenon. The concept of solidarity can be a theoretical basis for the necessity of social reform which is to be pursued not so much as through the institutional change but through the recovery of humanity. The concept of solidarity emphasizes the interaction of the human spirit and the spirit of time. Man actualizes his evil existence through evil deeds and rediscover his identity in the evil of social structure. The consciousness of solidarity provides a theoretical basis for the social responsibility of Christians who are being isolated in the world by clinging to the privatized spirituality and conduct. A christian comes to be responsible for himself as long as he is responsible for the society.
