AB - This article examines Yi Don-hwa’s New Human Philosophy, which is praised for modernizing the theory of Chendogyo, through the prism of anti-intellectualism. Yi Don-hwa’s claim resonates with modern antiintellectualism in that it aims at modern egalitarian ideas, conveys political claims through the voice of religion, and develops monistic metaphysics while diminishing scientific knowledge. He redefines the character of civilization and newly defines the path of evolution to that point. In the process of that evolution, a bright future for colonial Korea is designed, material and scientific perceptions are set below spiritual and intuition, and spiritual discipline is presented as the driving force for evolution. His new interpretation puts the responsibility for civilization on the moral abilities of the people, but the morality was free from reality and did not evaluate the material efforts of reality.
