Prologue. Aesthetics is the emotional perception of beauty introduced by Baumgarten (1714-1762) in Germany during the mid-18th century. Aesthetics, with the goal of systematically interpreting aesthetic values, traces its philosophical origins back to ancient Greece. To understand the perception of beauty in both the East and the West, we investigate the philosophical foundations of aesthetic judgment found in Greek aesthetics, Eastern Confucianism, Buddhism, Zen aesthetics, medieval aesthetics, Renaissance aesthetics, modern aesthetics, and contemporary aesthetics. \"Gödel, Escher, Bach (1979)\" by American cognitive scientist Douglas Richard Hofstadter (1945- ) serves as the inspiration for the creation of \"Toegye, Gyeomjae, Chusa (2023).\" Hofstadter investigates the neural mechanisms of cognition in the lives and works of Gödel, Escher, and Bach. Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) poses profound philosophical inquiries about formal logic, mathematical logic, and the foundations of mathematical systems. Dutch printmaker Moritz Escher (1898-1972) ventures beyond the boundaries of reality and imagination by blending mathematical principles and aesthetics within the realm of surrealism. German composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) translates the counter-reformation and the upheaval that affected Northern Europe after the Thirty Years\' War (1618-1648) into dynamic, unconventional, and sensuous Baroque auditory art. \"Toegye, Gyeomjae, Chusa (2023)\" is an encounter of philosophy and aesthetics recorded from an artist\'s monograph perspective. Toegye Yi Hwang (1501-1570), a Confucian scholar of the Joseon Dynasty, firmly establishes the dualism of principle and vital forces based on the theory of principle superiority, which dualizes li-ki into enduring li and ephemeral qi. Gyeomjae Jeong Seon (1676-1759), a painter from the later period of the Joseon Dynasty, reinterprets the monism of principle and vital forces, viewing it as a single attribute or order of qi\'s action, and opens up a new horizon in the world of landscape painting. Chusa Kim Jeong-hui (1786-1856), a scholar from the later period of the Joseon Dynasty, creates an ideal new calligraphy style based on his research in Qing Dynasty classical studies, which harmonizes the monism of principle and vital forces of Yulgok and the dualism of principle and vital forces of Toegye, free from the constraints of theoretical Confucianism. Attempting individual reflections on the lives, scholarship, philosophy, and aesthetics of Toegye, Gyeomjae, and Chusa, it approaches the fusion of clarity and universality. Establishing a cosmology based on the dualism of principle and vital Forces, I seek to find the essence of aesthetics in the movement of qi, which is the change in the universe.
Prologue. Due to the impact of ethnic circumstances left in history, the ethnic characteristics remain, approaching the humanities journey through the clarity of comprehensive historiography. Following the trajectory of the history of each country, changed at the whims of the goddess of luck, Fortuna, the humanities journey explores the paths of history. In contrast to the Tu\'kke of Greek mythology, who left luck to the dice, in Roman mythology, Fortuna determines destiny with a wheel. We traverse James Joyce and Shakespeare\'s England, Dante Alighieri and Leonardo da Vinci, Umberto Eco\'s Italy, Rubens\'s Belgium, Nikos Kazantzakis\'s Greece, Milan Kundera\'s Czechoslovakia, Descartes and Vincent van Gogh, Sartre\'s France, and Dostoevsky\'s Russia. The internal meaning of history involves the exploration of truth, thought, and effort to approach it, as well as the investigation of causes and origins. In the timeless hours between the dog and the wolf, we revel in the freedom that transcends all formality during that elusive evening time. Embarking on a humanities journey through comprehensive historiography, we explore the world. Humanities travel is enriching when life itself is beautiful.
Prologue. Homer and Hesiod, who encapsulated human desires and ideals, as well as human limitations and imagination, highlight humanity through their mythological elements. Unlike Bulfinch, who viewed myths as tools for Enlightenment teachings, Homer and Hesiod prioritize human values such as honor, courage, and labor. For them, the Greek human is a curious being, questioning everything and exploring to understand, embodying a fantastical race. They challenge the authority of the gods by integrating the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences into a systematic conception of knowledge. Stripping away the myths shrouded in clouds, they reveal the clarity of all concepts under the bright Mediterranean sunlight. Dutch historian Johan Huizinga also illuminated the dark ages with his work "The Autumn of the Middle Ages" (1919), encouraging a deeper perspective on life through the living humanities. Through humanistic thought grounded in history, we come to understand and engage with the world. By probing into humanistic questions and answers, we uncover symbols of play embedded in the twilight and moonlight, filling life with fantasy. The quality of fantasy is determined by the accumulated knowledge and intellectual capacity of individuals. When the journey of fantasy is beneficial and enjoyable, it transforms into genuine play, yielding riches for oneself and others.
Prologue. Dutch historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) released \"The Autumn of the Middle Ages\" in 1919, offering profound insights into the medieval era and shedding light on its dark times. With a deep understanding of language, Huizinga becomes captivated by play and devotes himself to the study of games within the course of history. The medieval period is a beautiful sunset that occurs as darkness descends, symbolized by sunsets and moonlight. Culture emerges from play as a bud of the Renaissance. The ideal life rooted in the era of the red dusk consists of three paths. Firstly, it involves escaping from the mundane world, denying worldly pleasures absolutely. Secondly, it involves striving to change the world, ardently desiring a transformed society. Thirdly, it involves filling life with fantasy, living life as a game.
Prologue. Romanticism despaired over the destructive and dark aspects of reason that became evident after the French Revolution of 1789. When radical and cruel reason shattered and collapsed all principles and orders, it bred a deep distrust and skepticism toward reason. Amid the ruins of the mind, Romanticism turned inward, seeking individuality and emotion based on self-confirmation and human instinctive desires. While Romanticism clearly emerged as a reaction against Enlightenment and Neoclassicism, it neither ignored nor rejected reason. Instead, it viewed absolute and universal reason as something that evolves with historical flow, perceiving society as an organism undergoing birth, growth, decline, and extinction. Just as Romanticism rebelled against the norms of the Age of Reason, scientific rationalism, and the Industrial Revolution, Realism opposed the exaggerated emotionalism and subjectivism of Romanticism. Focusing on the unpleasant and ugly realities revealed by the February Revolution of 1848, Realism aimed to objectify the lives of the middle and lower classes. It posited that uncomfortable truths are inherent in human conceptual systems and linguistic practices. Realism concerned itself with how things appear in order to view unidealized subjects and events. Thus, it attempted to depict and faithfully express facts existing in third-person objective reality according to secular and empirical rules, without embellishment or interpretation. This book approaches 15 films from the UK, Japan, and France through the intersection of emotion and thought. It contemplates the universal human emotions and experiences contained within the precarious spectacles of these three nations\' histories. By breaking free from prescribed emotional lines and the uncomfortable framework of fixed thought, this book reads the UK, Japan, and France through their cinematic narratives. Even when the film ends, it remains an unsettling stimulus with an unknown conclusion.
Prologue. Hegel regards the Absolute Spirit as continuously developing dialectically. Hegel\'s insight into the development process of the Absolute Spirit through the dialectics of contradiction and opposition is remarkable, but it is a mistake to think that all spirits and things undergo infinite development. The spirit of modern Western civilization clashes sharply with the cyclical thinking of the East with its linear thinking. As material civilization reaches its zenith, just as spiritual civilization declines, cosmic spirit repeats its advance and retreat. Spirits and things intersect, advancing and retreating, following a proud flow. Feng Shui is a metaphysics of the land\'s vitality and resonance, nurturing the vitality of the land and people. In the historical time and space of where one resides, one gains macroscopic insights of metaphysics on the shapes of mountains and fields, the direction of the earth and water flow, through the perspective of Feng Shui. By knowing one\'s own Five Elements and the regional Five Elements, one seeks the wisdom of harmony and balance in the foundation of life. In the expanded realm of life in the global world, one broadens the range and scope of one\'s own Five Elements by utilizing the Five Elements of each country. In a world that requires temporal, spatial, and structural perspectives, space and geography are important concepts for understanding the environment in which humans live and for finding their center. While historians view the world temporally, economists and political scientists view it structurally, but geographers view the world spatially. In an international environment of technological revolution and unending competition at the speed of light, a geographical perspective imbued with the contingency of space is the macroscopic reasoning power that organizes chaos. The world is viewed through Astronomy, Feng Shui, and Geography.
The daily average foreign exchange transaction volume in 2023, as announced by the Bank of Korea, is $65.9 billion. Excluding spot and forward exchange transactions, most of the transactions are conducted by forces aiming for currency speculation. Funds move at the speed of light, and if 0.1% of $3 billion moves, it results in a profit of $3 million. Due to financial liberalization through globalization, exchange rates are determined not only by the movement of goods and services but also by the flow of capital. International financial transactions precede trade transactions, and money exceeding fifty times the real economy seeks higher returns, searching every corner of the globe. As it becomes harder to find good returns due to overinvestment and overproduction, companies rely on 'technical trading' and 'momentum investing' for very short-term gains rather than investing based on long-term outlooks and intrinsic value. Thus, a financial crisis in a specific country spreads to our exchange rate fluctuations or financial crises. Stiglitz won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on the asymmetry of information and the imperfection of markets. Market imperfections arise from game-theoretic environments caused by gaps in information, leading to interactions between uncertain elements in the understanding of markets and events. Our decisions, based on human knowledge, result in unintended consequences, but the amount of information gained from failure is greater than from success. Based on a philosophical understanding of wealth, we read the codes of the economy, amplifying the bidirectional feedback mechanism of error and recursion.
Prologue. Money governs our values and judgments, harshly testing our perception and weight of life. Without a philosophical understanding of money, passion for money falls into pathological obsession and distorts into neurotic greed. Based on the philosophy of money, if life is constantly filled with fantasy and investment, the journey of life as Homo Ludens, the playing man, begins. Understanding money, which is both a concrete object and an abstract symbol, widely and deeply, is not easy, but it approaches money through the philosophy, symbols, wars, worlds, and aesthetics of money. Based on the philosophy of money, we examine the concreteness and abstractness of money, focusing on substance rather than pretext, as the basis of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. With wisdom and reverence for both the concrete and abstract aspects of money, we affirm the beauty of life.
Prologue. In times of economic transition, changes always occur in three areas. First, there is a lack of entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurial spirit, which is crucial to navigate through complex and chaotic times, is in absolute short supply. Second, the dominant institution shifts from corporations to individuals. What once could only be done by large companies can now be accomplished by individuals. Third, the dominant actor shifts from the CEO to the individual entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs create their own systems and work according to the systems they have built. If one overcomes the intense challenges of the night with entrepreneurship, one can grasp an unprecedented level of wealth and freedom, as well as the meaning of work and life in human history. What is dangerous is actually safer. The eminent Islamic historian Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) mentioned the concept of \'desert people\' in his \'Muqaddimah\'. Desert people live apart from the community, dwelling alone. Without city walls, they are always cautiously vigilant in all directions. They protect themselves with only bold courage. City dwellers, accustomed to success and luxury, indulge in worldly desires. They lack courage due to laziness and complacency. They have an unshakeable belief in the security of the walls surrounding them. People who allow someone else to design their lives enjoy only minimal freedom. They are assigned clearly defined tasks and roles at work. On the other hand, those who define and design their own lives tackle complex problems. They demonstrate a high level of competence in the quality of life, freedom, and wealth. Based on a philosophical understanding of wealth, they amplify the bidirectional feedback mechanism of error and recursion through a roadmap of wealth.
Prologue. In baseball and soccer, the outcome is determined by the coach\'s tactics. To maximize performance and profits, it is necessary to delight customers and fans with quick information gathering and accurate analysis based on vast data. The coach, who is responsible for the entire game, must respect the individuality of the players, acknowledge the unique authority of the coaches, and accommodate the demands of the audience, while also considering the strategy for player placement based on the opposing team. Despite the limited capacity of the coach, the responsibility for poor performance is absolute, so fundamentally, leading players and coaches to victory and success requires deep knowledge of baseball and soccer. We approach baseball tactics through an understanding of pitching, catching, hitting, defense, and base running, and examine soccer tactics by analyzing the four-back formation and three-back formation. In the Major League and Premier League, a manager is a condensed version of a strategist. We wander through the forests of baseball and soccer while reflecting on the fierce lives depicted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
