大倧敎의 民族意識과 그 實踐 = The national consciousness of Daejonggyo and its practice

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this article is to examine thoroughly how Daejonggyo thought of its nation. The framework of perception called the religious nationalism is used to carry out the purpose. In general, the religious nationalism is defined as a methodology to extract national factors from a religion. However, in this article, the religious nationalism is defined as the religious cognition of factors consisting of a nation and the social practice of such cognition. In this article, factors consisting of a nation is limited to its religion, race, and history. To begin with, let's think of the view of religion of Daejonggyo in terms of a nation. Daejonggyo which had appeared in modern times on the basis of Old Shingyo(古神敎) had regarded Daejonggyo itself and the nation as one unit sharing ups and downs in the process of the long history of the Korean people(韓民族). Secondly, Daejonggyo has the birth myth of mankind beyond that of a nation which enables us to overcome the conflicts between nations caused by differences among races. The theory of all human beings being based on one root mentioned in the scripture of Daejonggyo can be used to cope with the conflicts between foreigners and Koreans brought about by racial problems in Korean society. Finally, the view of history of Daejonggyo is based on the view of history of Shingyo(神敎), which is the attitude of thinking of Korean history in terms of Shingyo beyond the view of Confucianism and Buddhism. The basis that we should view the history of the Korean people in terms of Shinyo is based on the historical experience that the rise and fall of the Korean people had had the close relation to those of Shingyo, the Koran native religion. On the basis of this consciousness, Daejonggyo had developed the movement to put the consciousness into practice. The religious movement led by Ra Cheol is considered to be the movement concentrated on the realization of the spirit that is a major factor consisting of a nation like a living organism. Meanwhile, apart from the religious movement by Ra Cheol, the movements to carry out the national consciousness were developed in the other fields. On the one hand, it was the knowledge movement called Korean studies in the fields such as the Korean language and Korean history influenced by Daejonggyo's view of language and history. On the other hand, it was an anti Japanese struggle by force for the independence for Korea led by Daejonggyo in Manchuria.
