ABSTRACT

Human beings are living in the era of the fourth industrial revolution with the ability of dealing with and sharing huge amount of information and knowledge. Some scholars, however, point out that this revolution might produce some serious ethical problems. In particular, they worry about possible economic inequality and unfairness caused by imbalance between supply and production, which might deepen economic polarization and alienation that can result in lowering the quality of life. To play a more responsible role as Church in Korea, Christian socioecological ethics presents a reformative approach for people who are discouraged in the dim future. Christian socioecological ethics which pursuits structural change of a society with creation consciousness is awakened from ecological concepts of interrelatedness, interaction and interdependence. This paper overviews the notion of Christian socioecological ethics and explores how it is used as a tool for solving ethical problems in the fourth industrial revolution. This paper makes an attempt to propose an ethical alternative of fundamental change for creation consciousness and conduct. Improving of ecological sensitivity and interrelatedness developed by socio-ecolgical ethics will be a simultaneous solution for the crisis of Korean Church and society in the fourth industrial revolution.
