취향교육의 도덕정치적 함의 = The Implications of Taste Education in Moral Politics: Focusing on J-J Rousseau's Political Philosophy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study has two aims. One is to conceptualize the French words, goût (taste)and moeurs (morals or mores), and to discover the relationship between them in Rousseau`s political philosophy. The other is to highlight the implications of taste education on moral politics by tracing out the logical path that taste judgment makes an effect on political judgment. If taste was considered as an object of culture, the results can be thought of an insight on the relationship between culture and politics.
In Rousseau's political philosophy, taste and morals have the same origin, so to speak, relative ideas and sentiments which can be considered as the essence of them, and they go through the same revolution. Morals include the diverse forms that the relative ideas and sentiments are realized by means of language and behaviour in the relationships of the individuals in society. They can be branched into manners, habits, practices, and customs, and finally be transformed into the laws. This path can be taken as the moral network which has morals and moral relations. Taste judgment forms or changes the moral judgment because it carries the ideas of not only the beautiful but also the right and the good through this moral networks in society.
There are two kinds of taste in Rousseau's political philosophy. One is physical or personal, the other is moral or social. For Rousseau, the latter is taken as a very important one because it can narrow the gap between private interests and public interest, namely common good. The realizations of taste judgment should be accompanied with the wills of the judges toward common good. Therefore, taste education should be seriously considered as one of objects in the field of pedagogy, because political judgments and the characteristics of the culture in the society depend on how to set up taste education.
