Lee Won-bok: The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Man: The World of Philosophy

The *Land of God, Land of Man* series is a three-part treatise on religion, mythology, and philosophy presented by Professor Lee Won-bok, well-known for *Professor Lee Won-bok’s World of Wine: Wines of the World* and *21st Century Distant Countries, Neighboring Countries*. Professor Lee, a master of Korean educational comics, discusses religion, mythology, and philosophy—the three pillars of spiritual culture—as a new way to understand the world. In the third volume of *Land of God, Land of Man*, titled *The World of Philosophy*, the history of philosophy is organized in an easy-to-understand manner by era, concept, and school of thought. It covers everything from ancient Greek philosophy—the basic framework of philosophy established by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle—to modern postmodernism involving Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and Freud. Through the lineage of ideas of 80 major figures in the history of philosophy, this book clearly examines the "world of philosophy"—which has evolved human life through endless contemplation and consciousness regarding "existence" while defying the boundaries of time and religion—by tracing the lineage of ideas and philosophical theories of great philosophers. The author argues that understanding how those revolutionary concerns have shaped individual lives and culture will serve as an important starting point for reflecting on the era we live in and predicting the future.
