[탈근대성에 대한 동양철학의 담론 3] 잘 죽음(well-dying) : 한국 문화의 맥락에서 본 웰다잉의 조건과 방식 = Conditions and Direction of Well-dying from the viewpoint standing on the Contemporary Cultural Context of Korean`s

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The goal of this study is to grasp context and situations of Korean`s culture related to well-dying, and to seek for and propose a necessary requirement for a true well dying. According to this study, important spheres related to human death are all four; body, society, spirit, and soul. If all conditions asked from these four could be satisfied, then well dying will be realized. That granted, a matter of concern is how Koreans can satisfy them. For grasping the context and situation, some bottom-up style approaches are analysed, a special attention was paid to surveys of public opinion by Korean gallup and some qualitative studies for getting real state of Korean`s cultural context and situation about well dying. Result of this analysis shows that in the Korean cultural context and situation religious authenticity has reduced and instead another sphere which religious influence cannot touch has increased, and that attitudes inclining toward material values have been increasing so much. This observed facts imply that a renewed religion or something new as an alternation for traditional religion which play a role for leading human lives belonging to this spiritual dimension to the direction of health and sacredness. Therefore a discussion about the preparative method for well dying dependent of a top-down style approach is needed. In regard to this ideal types which could be taken from traditional thoughts of Korean or Western are deferred in this paper and the reason why traditional thoughts or ideal types can do valuable roles for well dying in the context of Korean`s cultural context is inferred. Attitude of Dr. Kuebler Ross, contents of education for preparing death, teachings of Tibetian Buddhism, and Ken Wilber and his wife`s notes during commonly accepting process toward the time of her death told that looking one`s death in the eye and meeting the death self-confidently is feasibly get by virtue of a philosophically conviction or a religiously firm belief. Some ideas from them such as constructing a one`s own philosophy regarding death, religiously interpreting of death, Ken Wilber`s perennial philosophy, Tibetian thinking that death is bridge for increasing possibility of spiritual awakening, etc. should be effective measures, and meditation or contemplation should be another approaching measure to these. Even though these ideas are extracted, of course, from accumulation of long term experiences relating to many people`s death, at the same time they are the inferential results according to traditional ideas of philosophy or religion regarding as apriori wisdom.
