The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the heightening ways (or devices) of present public ethics in terms of Calvinistic vocational ethics. By methodology for this issue the writer researched Calvin's ethics and presented the public ethics which Calvin asserted. The image of public official which Calvin uttered is as follows: public official as a delegate of God's reign, public official as a missionary who accomplishes responsibility to God, state and people, public official as a lawyer of state reign, and public official as the realization of Christ's kingly reign. The aim of public ethics asserted by Calvin is to build up sound and clean public ethics through these public officials.
As an example, this dissertation deals with Netherlands and the writer investigates the nation which is building up clean public ethics based on the spirit of Calvinism in the world as the alternative of Korean public ethics and application case. In this analysis the writer tried to present the alternative of public ethics necessary in Korean society. The alternative of public ethics is political participation of Christians and Christians' social movement.
The basement of transparent public ethics of Netherlands is Calvinic Sphere Sovereignty to be made by Positive social participation of christian. Sphere Sovereignty is political philosophy of netherlands, and makes the basic frame of family and school in Netherlands. Especially CDA is built on christian thoughts, spreads widely to the society calvin's professional ethics, anthropology, calling for world, economics of God etc. This possibility of netherlands christian social participation is our alternative. Our society needs to learn social participation of Netherlands church, and make out Korea alternatives through these. Moreover we need to set up Sphere Sovereignty of Korea. And our church makes the society lighten with christian political party and civil movement.
The limitation of this dissertation is as follows: to suggest a real alternative idea leaves something to be desired. It is the reason why the writer focused on not deep alternative research which is appropriate for Korean situation but methodology suggestion through theoretical investigation.
Therefore, the writer anticipates that many successors of him will theoretically develop Christian administrative understanding which this dissertation approached in a new viewpoint. Additionally, the writer expects that they will build up a new academic foundation by dealing with the issues of public ethics and hopes that various research tasks concerning the issues will make a contribution to human healthy society. Finally, the writer anticipates that good alternatives appropriate for Korean situation will be suggested through many investigators.
