ABSTRACT

This thesis was composed during the process of answering three questions. First, where does ethical duty (what one should do) of a subject lie? For example, is in the theoretical world or the world of life? Second, what relationship does writing have with the formation of an ethical subject? Third, what is the direction of writing education for the formation of an ethical subject? I have answered these questions with Bakhtin’s argument as its basis and have tried to form a new perspective and sensitivity on the ethical side of writing through this. In Chapter II, the place in which ethical duty exists and the relationship between the formation of an ethical subject and writing was discussed. Based on Bakhtin’s initial writings, 『Toward a Philosophy of the Act』, an emphasis was put on the fact that the place in which ethical duty exists is not the theoretical world but the world of life. Duty of subject was thought to be composed by the responsible participation of the subject on the existing event. Writing is a process in which the subject participates in the existing event and is also an event in which the theoretical world and the world of life is mutually checked upon and penetrated. Thus, I discussed the fact that writing can become an important opportunity to form the ethical judgment ability and ethical sensitivity of the subjectivity. In chapter III, I discussed the direction of writing education for the formation of an ethical subject. First, there is a need to emphasize writing that strongly maintains the characteristics and outsideness of the author. When writing to maintain such characteristics, I can wholly express myself in depth through others and the others can do so as well through me. Second, writing must be a place to self-examine in depth about the way we meet with others. Writing is a process of meeting with so many others. And the opportunity or potential of forming an ethical subject that writing has lies in the process of self-examination on the way of meeting others.
