ABSTRACT

In the current society, empathy for the weak is becoming increasingly scarce. The individualistic way of life is often prioritized over the value of coexistence. Therefore, it is difficult to hear the sound of resonance in a society that lacks empathy and does not value coexistence. As a Christian ethicist, reflecting on my life and academic journey, I would like to challenge my colleagues in Christian ethics on how to produce academic results as a researcher. For Korean Christian ethicists, the first identity is an ethicist, followed by being a Christian and a Korean. They must sincerely and earnestly conduct academic research as ethicists, clarify their identity as Christians, and handle social ethical tasks as Koreans. Korean Christian ethicists must empathize with the socially under-privileged, coexist with people and nature, and strive toward the resolution of social problems. I hope that Korean Christian ethicists can create new opportunities and hopes for Korean society and the world community based on their own identities.
