The Fourth Industrial Revolution in recent years has become a global concern. Humanities scholars have experienced the crisis of humanities due to the new wave of this revolution based on science and technology and expressed much concern. The problem is that humanities scholars themselves think ‘there is no hope for the future of the humanities.’ In any age or environment, humanities can always exert their worth when they are faithful to the human spirit that comes within our spiritual human nature. Humanities have a mission to elevate the spirit of man spiritually, making life vital. In this way, humanities heal and make people healthy; thus indeed constituting the hope of human life. What we need in the face of the uncertainty of life brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a ‘Humanities of Hope’ which expresses and becomes hope for the future. The humanities of hope, moreover, must above all become the ‘humanities of healing’ which heals the souls of human beings abused by science and technology. This will strengthen existence through a positive affirmation of existence and overcome all irregularities and impurities through the search and discovery of meaning.

The female voice has been both controlled and ignored in a male dominated society. The issue of women’s subjection has focused on social and sexual problems in relation to historical and cultural dynamics that have been in place since Aristotle’s Politics. This study examines the female voice in the poetry of William Blake. In the earlier prophetic poetry of The Books of Thel, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, and Europe, the female voices of Thel and Oothoon attempt to challenge assumptions about feminine identity and oppose their subordination defined by the patriarchy of the 1790’s. This paper focuses on the development of the female voice of resistance rooted in feminine sexual identification as approached through the figures of Blake’s prophetic visions. In the 1790’s, Blake prophetically predicted women’s sexual identity in a way that would not become reality for another 200 years.

In Donghak, an awareness of Hanul in all aspects of life awakens spirituality and vitality in human beings and begins to heal the world. Dong-yup Shin determinedly searched for a literary re-contextualizing of this thought of Donghak to reestablish oppressed people as the subject of history. This article examines such an attempt in “The Talking Ploughman’s Earth,” Shin's debut work. The singularity of this poem lies, especially, in how it embodies the spirituality and vision of Donghak through the narrative of a rite of passage. By passing through Donghak’s initiation rite, Ploughman, the narrator of this poem, acquires spiritual subjectivity and gains the key to world healing. Finally, his adventure encounters the philosophy of the history of Donghak, which tries to transform the ‘here and now’ into a site of hope, and with this, it secures the possibility of restoring the subjective puissance of the people.

This paper examines Doris Lessing’s insight into sufi equilibrium in The Memoirs of a Survivor. Lessing uses sufi ideas to enhance the perception of human beings in support of her belief in the possibility of individual and world amelioration. These ideas are represented by a narrator in The Memoir of a Survivor, who comes and goes through an opening wall. The narrator sees other lives behind the wall, that consists of personal and impersonal scenes. The narrator and Emily, a character who just pops out from a room behind the wall, first experience crisis, anxiety and fear in an apocalyptic world, and then move into another order of world following a feminine deity. In like manner, Lessing expects that humans will participate in conscious evolution through imagining and apprehending a deity.

This paper asserts that the deepest background of all depression lies in the emptiness and meaninglessness caused by ‘ultimate loss,’ and that the key to overcoming it is to restore the sense of ‘transcendence’ and ‘connection.’ The characters appearing in The Vegetarian by Kang Han are all lonely human beings. They live in their own way, but they are not truly alive. In their lives, they do not properly create what Robert J. Lifton calls a ‘formulation.’ They are not connected with each other and have no symbolic integration with ‘Ultimate Reality.’ They are living in a moribund life trapped by their own trauma or emptiness. At the same time, they all show signs of depression and suicidal impulse. Therefore, by observing the novel, this paper examines human lives in modern times where depressions are prevalent, and suggests ways to solve such problems.

The Science and Religion is a Christian apology that was written in response to the intellectual discourse of the 1920s, when materialistic socialism was rapidly propagated to intellectual youth as scientific discourse. Van Buskirk, a professor at the Severance Medical Research Department, combines the ideology of science, which was a qualification for knowledge, with Christian doctrine. In this way, Buskirk's text constitutes a Christian social evolution theory. Specifically, the narrative frame of Darwinism, which had already been approved by science, is dedicated to selectively combine the doctrine of salvation, soul, love, and sacrifice. With this, it criticized the materialism and the mechanical determinism of materialistic socialism which has emerged as a dominant discourse, and built a discourse that would cope with it. It thus provides an important key to identifying the role of Christianity in the formation of knowledge discourse in the 1920’s.

T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets and Murder in the Cathedral inherited the religious and philosophical tradition of Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theology and Dante’s Divine Comedy. The Anglo-Catholicism, as distinguished from the Roman Catholicism, thereby may be seen to designate Eliot’s religious identity. Dante’s Divine Comedy shows the apex of his contemplation based upon the intellect. Dante illustrates “paradiso” reaching contemplation by using various lights, and Eliot’s Four Quartets similarly reveals a still point that is a mystical experience filled with much light. In Four Quartets the moment of mystical experience can be seen like those in the works of Thomas Aquinas and Dante belonging to a Catholic tradition that reaches sanctification. The action of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Murder in the Cathedral might just sin as a failure to will in accordance with God, which is the choice of good and evil of human acts interpreted by St. Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theology. For the true martyr is the person who has become the instrument of God, who has lost his will in the will of God, and who no longer desires anything for himself.

This thesis deals with SF narratives about changes to religious life through the development of science & technology. I study the expansion of space-time and the emergence of new religious beings due to the development of science & technology as found in “The Fire Balloons” and “The Man” by Ray Bradbury, and “Ready-made Bodhisattva,” and “At A Tourist Destination,” by Sung-hwan Park. Religious experiences, which are often considered to be a direct encounter with God or a mysterious experience, can be expanded in the age of science and technology. I discuss how religious experience in the scientific & technological age appears in SF narrative based on the subject’s religious perceptions and reflections but not necessarily encountered through religious objects. This ultimately demonstrates the necessity of religious experience of reflexivity on the subjects themselves who live in the science & technology age.
