다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this research, I discussed a subject whether various matters and educational actions could be handled on the basis of any philosophical foundation by the education for older adults through religious organization. The purposes of this study are as follows. First, On what logic, the reason for the education and learning of the education for older adults which has been well-considered by religious organization could be explained. Second, the purpose of this research is finding what course and what aim the education for older adults in religious organization should have and finding a clue about the approach to salvation which is the ultimate purpose of religion and the improvement in the quality of life which is the aim of the education for older adults. In this research, the older adults welfare service as a social welfare and the education for older adults as adult education have a common objective from a point of view that they all make the quality of life better and pursue the happiness of an individual and a society. And I also found out the tact that a viewpoint of the mutual relation of the education for older adults-the older adults welfare service-propagation and philosophical viewpoint based on humanistic adult lifelong education should be united and it should be a standard for understanding the whole things and their complexity accomplished by religious organization. A school for older adults in religious organization is a meeting place of the older adults in a society. So, it becomes a good opportunity for giving new image of religious organization to a community as well as a great chance of propagation at the same time. Therefore, It is beneficial to practice the education for older adults on the way of combining public service function into a purpose of propagation. In a society living together, every generation have to help and support each other. And also, a philosophy of humanistic education for older adults by religion is severely needed to help the old to demonstrate their potentialities.
