Jo Hyeong-guk: Culture and Thought

All cultures and ideas are human expressions that have sought the world for a more than just re-respect of the uncomfortable and unintelligible reality. Whether East or West, humans have been creating or maintaining culture ever since they started to exist on this planet. The connection between this culture and man has been described by Plato as the pursuit of the ideal of Idea by a man with the erosive desires of his own country. Man has dreamed of a better life, a better society, an ideal between reality and the future. This effort was once spread to a cultural world that centered on humanity and sometimes God at the center. In the West, particularly through ancient, medieval, and modern times, the distinction is clearly seen. But then, after modern times, the culture of human-centered and divine culture has become mainstream, and since modern times the worldview of what is called "Cocto ergoen" has become the standard of truth, a basis for existence. We are proud of the brilliant advances in technology, but today we have reached the reality of climate change, nuclear weapons, polarization, aging and underbirth, which are the things that should worry us about. It may sound rather harsh, but today in many fields there is a lot of concern that our magnificent towers could collapse if we did not practice symbiosis or public justice. The high-deggers, living the 20th century, have argued that we should “in time be on the ground.".
