도킨스 다시 읽기 -복제자, 행위자, 그리고 수혜자-

우리는 생존 기계, 즉 유전자라고 알려진 이기적 분자를 보존하기위해 맹목적으로 프로그램된 로봇 운반자이다. 이것은 여전히 나를 놀라게 만드는 진리이다.(Dawkins 1976, p.i) 인지철학자 데닛(D. Dennett)은 진화생물학자 도킨스(R. Dawkins)의 이기적 유전자(The Selfish Gene) 의 출간 30주년(2006년) 기념식장에서 흥미로운 고백을 하나 했다. 이 책은 내 인생을 바꿨습니다." 철학의 대가가 자신의 학문적 인생을 바꿔놓은 책을 선뜻 이야기하는 경우도 흔치는 않지만, 그 대가의 인생을 바꿔놓은 책의 저자가 다름 아닌 과학자라는 사실도 이례적이다

Darwinian Humanities and the Evolution of Humanities

We live in the era of biology. We have heard of obesity genes, homosexuality genes from daily news papers almost every week. Such terms as Stem cell and GMO are no longer biological jargons. If contemporary science and technology have changed our lives for the past centuries, biology has been a center of the stage. Interesting enough, biology has changed not only our lives but also our thinking. Rapid development of reproductive technologies made us revisit our received view of the birth, genetic engineering led to safety problems of GM foods, and news of homosexuality genes evoked nature vs nurture debates again. Besides, recent development of neurosciences makes us think seriously if the brain is me. For the past two centuries, we have undertook three important revolutions: Darwinian, molecular, and cognitive revolution. They have changed our thinking of our selves dramatically. So it is valuable to discuss the humanistic meaning, issues and implications of the three revolutions. In this review paper, among the three I focus on the Darwinian revolution and its implications for humanities. Firstly, I discuss philosophical implications of Darwinian theory, reviewing its anti-essentialistic metaphysics and ethical ramifications. Secondly, I review Darwinian approaches to understanding of the human mind (especially for inference, emotion, and social cognition) and compare them with traditional conceptions of mind. Thirdly, I review two major theories of language evolution critically in order to explore the influence of Darwinian revolution on linguistics. Finally I argue for evolutionary theories of culture which has been hardly discussed in Darwinian senses. Through these discussions, I reveal that we can have interesting Darwinian views of ontology, morality, inference, emotion, social cognition, language, and even culture. So this paper can be a primitive review of Darwinian Humanities The Darwinian Humanities conflict with traditional ones in some cases, while they can do a complementary cooperation in others

탄소나노튜브와 카르보닐 철 분말 기반의 나노하이브리드 클러스터를 이용한 기능성 복합체 개발

학위논문(박사) - 한국과학기술원 : 건설및환경공학과, 2023.8,[v, 122 p. :]In this dissertation, the multi-functional polymeric and cementitious composites incorporating CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid clusters were developed. First, previous studies pertaining to the recent advancement on conductive polymeric composites using various kinds of conductive fillers and many kinds of dispersion methods for the conductive fillers were widely revisited. Then, the fabrication method of CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid cluster was proposed, and the formation of the cluster was analyzed using various characterization tools. The multi-functional polymeric composites using these proposed clusters were fabricated, and their functionalities including EMI shielding composites, flexible strain sensor for monitoring human motions, and magneto-meters applications are systematically evaluated. In addition, the fabricated clusters were used to fabricate multi-directional cement-based sensor. This dissertation can be categorized in to four aspects considering the proposed functionalaity: 1) Fabrication of CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid clusters and development of EMI shielding polymeric composites with these clusters, 2) Design of a highly flexible and sensitive polymeric sensor incorporating CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid lusters for monitoring movements of human bodies, 3) Fabrication of magneto-meters using CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid clusters-embedded polymeric composites, and 4) Directionally sensitive cement-based sensor using CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid clusters. The obtained outcomes provided the new insight of the proposed CNT@CIP-based nanohybrid clusters, which improved the functional performances and increased the possibility of the nanohybrid clusters-embedded composites as multi-functional composites.한국과학기술원 :건설및환경공학과
