Abstract

This paper argues a possible contribution of Dong-Hak, one of the greatest religious and social movements in the history of Korea, to the issue of global ethics. Dong-Hak presents an organic link between human beings, the world, and God with the panentheistic ideas and speaks of an imperative moral ethic with the cosmopolitan spirituality. This paper discusses Dong-Hak’s theological sources for a socio-religious ethic in a global dimension that is different from the previous approaches of the traditional Christian supernaturalistic theism, modern atheism, and eastern religious immanentism to the contemporary crisis caused by the market globalization and its neo-liberal ideology.
