ABSTRACT

I will deal with the problem overcoming the poverty and crisis of our philosophy in conjunction with the “philosophy” and “philosophical practice” of Kant, Hegel, and contemporary philosophers. Our philosophers had to experience the poverty and crisis of the philosophy with passing through the process of the national state and the civic state, and are still experiencing it. On the one hand, this poverty and crisis stems from the unjust political and economical systems. But on the other hand, they stem from the thing which our philosophers have not performed the ‘philosophical practice’ which mediates and harmonizes theory and practice, thinking and reality. That is to say, such a poverty and crisis stems from what our philosophers did not synthesize the ‘philosophy as a life’ and the ‘philosophy as a science.’ Just as Today’s philosophical practicers have tried to do the ‘philosophical practice’ in order to overcome the poverty and crisis of their philosophy, our philosophers are also trying to do the ‘philosophical practice’ participating in the pains of our living world colonized by the (political-economical) system. However, our ‘philosophical practice’ activities are more concentrating on the theory studies rather than the case studies. In addition, the activities of our practical philosophers have also the possibility to weaken the critical activity of the philosophy because they tend to focus on the healing. Our practical philosophers can’t also go towards ‘creation’ activities that explore the future positively owing to this. We have to proceed towards the ‘philosophical practice’ which mediates theory and practice, thinking and reality, healing and criticism in order to overcome the poverty and crisis of our philosophy.
