AB - Over the past 5,000 years, Korea has established its own peculiar culture by accepting and absorbing the various cultures of neighboring countries. And with the fact that the subject of culture is a human being, it is conceded that the humanities that are supposed to encourage the value of humanity are at the center of culture. Accordingly, Korean humanities have the task of realizing the universal idea of the humanities in the Korean sociocultural context and at the same time advancing global culture by diffusing a unique Korean spirit—the spirit that can be expressed only through the Korean language—all over the world.
Korean humanities has now set the very lofty goal of accommodating, through Korean language, all the valuable materials that have been accumulated over the history of human beings in such a way as to enhance humanity, human dignity, and the value of humanity. By doing so, it is expected that the human value of Korean citizens is to be raised, and that its crux is to spread out through translations into foreign languages. It is well known that just as different communities take different approaches in realizing the same desired sociocultural value, so different persons take different methods in realizing the same desired human value. With the creed that the realization of this sort of uniqueness is conducive to enriching human culture, promoting a variety of human life style, and increasing the possibility of continuously developing human life itself, Korean humanities purport to go hand in hand with all the sociocultural paradigms such that they recognize different sociocultural peculiarities but at the same time respect and cooperate with them.
