AB - Since the Industrial Revolution, as human activities using science and technology have become active, human beings have become a geological agent that even changes the climate. Atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen named this era the ‘Anthropocene’ instead of ‘modern.’ And Dipesh Chakrabarty suggested that the anthropocene shakes the modern worldview, which divided human history and natural history, and made us realize that human freedom is conditioned by natural resources. On the other hand, Jane Bennett, a new materialist, argued that things have ‘power.’ And she criticized modern ontology, which has a dualism between humans and things. According to Bennett, objects such as viruses and garbage also have the power to affect humans, and therefore humans must abandon their arrogant attitude towards things, and restore an attitude of ‘respect.’ These new philosophies has much in common with the 19th-century Korean philosopher Hyegang Ch’oe Han-gi’s Qi-Philosophy. In Qi-Philosophy, both human and nature are regarded as beings that transforms qi(氣化), and they are thought to be intertwined as one without being separated from each other. Thus, according to the Qi-Philosophy, we can explain the Anthropocenic view of human as a geological being, in which human activities make tools, and the use of the tools changes qi of nature, and the result is climate change. These similarities opens the way for dialogue between Anthropocene philosophy and Qi-philosophy, or Western and Eastern philosophies.
