AB - This article seeks to establish the direction of ‘Earth Religion’ in order to constitute a new relationship between humans and the Earth. ‘Earth Religion’ can be defined as ‘a religion that recognizes the Earth as a community for human beings and their coexistence with the Earth.’ We attempted to explore the direction of this “earth religion” by focusing on Thomas Berry’s thoughts. In particular, by linking Berry’s theory on Geoscience and Geo Thelogy with ‘the Thought of Great Transformation’ in Korea, we reinterpreted the latter as a Global ethics. First, we reviewed opinions raised by Hannah Arendt, James Lovelock, and Bruno Latour etc. So, we confirmed that the perspective of humans regarding the Earth has been changing from an ‘Object of exploration and analysis and conquest’ to a ‘Common destiny.’ Next, we looked at Thomas Berry’s Geology and Earth Religion, which provided deep insight into such changes in perspective. Berry’s geology is based on an intellectual approach that advocates a shift in the existing cosmological paradigm by combining ‘scientific cosmology’ and ‘religious cosmology’ and is guided by a sense of purpose to save the Earth, which is dying as a result of destructive forces unleashed by humanity. In addition, his Earth religion is the study of discovering and reinterpreting thoughtful resources that can reconstitute the relationship between the earth and humans and non-human beings through a greater understanding of the Earth. Finally, we reinterpreted ‘the Thought of Great Transformation’ as a global religion and global ethics. In fact, the following indigenous philosophies were of sufficient value to constitute a global ethics: Sihyung Choi’s Ideas of ‘Heaven and earth are parents[天地父母]’ and ‘the heaven eats the heaven[以天食天]’, Joongbin Park’s ideas of ‘Four Graces[四恩]’ and Kyu Song’s ‘ethics of Three Great Unity[三同倫理]’.
