ABSTRACT

Seok Joo Myung(1908~1950) is a representative butterfly scholar of Korea, an Esperanto activist and a pioneer of Jeju studies. Not only did he become a master of the butterfly field, he established a broad academic world that encompasses natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences. He has also received a blend and reconciliation of regionalism, nationalism, and globalism. He was a universal pacifist that knowledge and wisdom should be shared by all, a subjective empiricist with an emphasis on reality, an objective rationalist that academic theories should be approved by all, and an equalitarian that every region or nation should have equal rights. He did not disrespect old things or new things, and he reconciled humanities with natural sciences, localism with globalism, tradition with modernity, and speciality with universality. He is a versatile scholar who is attainable in various fields, not merely in one field, and is a harmonious scholars who accept and integrate different ideas or perspectives. As we are in the era of integrated sciences and we live in glocal(global and local) world, we will get a lot of messages from his academic attitude.
