摘要

This research is an attempt to show the ethical characteristics of the principle of ＂Haewon-sangsaeng＂(解冤相生, the resolution of grievances for mutual beneficence) with its relation to the idea of ＂Guarding against self-deception＂(無自欺) in Daesoon Thought (大巡思想). Daesoon Thought is a new religious movement originated by Kang Jeungsan (姜甑山 1871- 1909) in Korea at the turn of the 20th century. For the analysis, I will examine whether this principle shares some aspects with Kant's deontological ethics, along with Aristotelian idea of teleological virtue ethics, then comparing both to Mill's consequentialist view. It will be shown that guarding against self-deception is presented both as one of the teleological objectives and normative ground for practice, while sharing several features of virtue ethics, especially those of Asian virtue ethics directed toward the perfection of Dao. Further, I will argue that the deontological and teleological features are interlinked with the spiritual practice of Daesoon practitioners aiming at Dao-unification (道通), such that guarding against self-deception facilitates mutual relations between Haewon-sangsaeng and other tenets of Daesoon Thought, such as ＂the harmonious union between divine beings and human beings＂(神人調化) and ＂the true stage of Dao-unification＂(道通真境).

本研究旨在闡釋：20世紀初，由韓國姜甄山（1871-1909）所發起的新宗教運動中，大巡思想之「解冤相生」原理的倫理特徵及其與「無自欺」理念的關係。本文將研究此原理是否與義務倫理學以及目的論德性倫理學，共享了某些原則觀念，並與結果論觀點進行比較。在此，「無自欺」既是目的論的目的，亦是實踐的規範依據，同時具有德性倫理學之特徵，尤其是亞洲德性倫理通向「道通」之特點。本文將探討與「無自欺」相關的「解冤相生」思想之倫理特徵，並探討該原則與義務倫理學和東亞德性倫理的共通之處。此外，亦將論證：義務論和目的論特徵與對於「道通」的精神實踐相互聯繫。因此「無自欺」促進了「解冤相生」與其他宗旨，如「神人調化」和「道通真境」之間的相互關係。
