ABSTRACT

Today, the progress to multicultural society seems to be an irreversible flow at least in our country [Korea]. The efforts to minimize the problems arise during the process of progress to multicultural society, to suggest various policy alternatives in order to settle into a stable society and to academically deepen the understanding about new society (formation) are important. However, for example, outcomes that are produced thoughtlessly without any academic philosophy to process research support programs that are delivered through various sources can sometimes discolor the original meaning of multicultural studies per se which are ‘practical application’ and ‘promotion of mutual understanding’. Of course forcing specific philosophical stereotypes to the cultural research in a humanistic sense can prevent privately-owned free play [amusement]. Nevertheless, blind multicultural studies without any convergent point have a possibility of encouraging both researchers and all the readers not only an unproductive but also an unnecessary prejudice regarding multicultural phenomenon. From this perspective, this paper suggests philosophical stereotypes that can lead the study of multicultural humanities based on the feature of hermeneutical thinking. This is because hermeneutical thinking seems appropriate for studying various culture formalities and open and practical cultural relation.
