Mythos and Logos

대부분의 민족들은 발전의 어느 시기에 이르렀을 때 불가사의한 사건을 담은 설화를 갖기 시작했다. 그리고 오랫동안 어느 정도는 그것을 사실로 믿었다. 대개의 경우 이러한 이야기들은 초자연적인 힘, 또는 초자연적인 존재가 포함되어 있기 때문에 후에 신화와 종교로 분류되었다. 그 이야기들은 자신이 속한 세계를 해석을 모색하는 과정이었고 인간의 이성이 개입하기 시작하면서 점차적으로 일관된 체계를 갖기 시작했다. 이 해석의 중심에는 늘 주인공-대부분 사람과 신의 협연-이 있기 마련으로, 그 주인공의 사적(事跡)에 얽힌 이야기들이 곧 당대의 세계 이해를 구성한다고 볼 수 있다

The Time Theory of St. Augustine

St. Augustine sees the time through altogether different point of view from the thinkers formerly. He has considered the time in the internal aspect of human being, while the others thought the time from a physical aspect to a quantitative aspect. That is, his time is not absolute but relative. One thoughts that the time is long and short, which is influenced by the mind. It was created by God. And the timeness of the human being results from his depravity. Therefore the time become a basis for being(ens) with things. Human being in the infinite of the timeness has a task constantly conduct the pursuit of overcome for the time. He found that there is a solution in the internal world of human being whose a memory for imago Dei(image of God). That is why He is discovered possibility to be restored will of God. So his the theory of the time come over to the problem of will(Inentio). St. Augustine has thought that the time is scattered toward past, present and future in terms of its restored will, such as 'the dissolution' can be overcome by the concentration to internalize of consciousness. Furthermore he thought that IS nothing less than the very a stage of salvation(sanctified) in christianity

An Ethical Understanding on 'Visio Dei' of St. Augustinus' - Within searching of De vera Religione and De Trinitate

According to ontological epistemology, preliminary preparation for true epistemology is to ensure faithful object and to purge of consciousness with immanent its object. In the epistemology of St. Augustinus, therefore, epistemological object is God with truth itself, for subject of episteme is the episteme of fallen human being, that is, faithful episteme is that recover of epistemological subject is in focus of the salus(ho1istic) recover. This is why we can say that the epistemology of St. Augustinus is the epistemology of sanctification. St. Augustinus puts emphasis on 'the encounter with God' in the climax of the episteme. I insist that the encounter is unified object of the episteme with subject of the episteme, as though I am impressed with a little mystic danger nagativily. In other words, I think 'Visio' is unification of inseparability 'seeing activity'(preception) from 'seeing object'(essence). To see is recover of human being's eyesight. This recover will be able to say 'the salvation' in a religious expression, or 'holistic recover' in an ethical dimension. So to speak, because seeing object(God, the Absolute) is unchangeable, but ontological state of seeing one is changable, the problem of 'Visio' is an ontological question of seeing one. In this paper, I am in the focus of this ontological recover
