One Korea or two?The persistence of North and South Korea since
1948 has been a source of one war and fears of new wars. Although
they share centuries of common culture, society and politics, the
two nations differ on fundamentals today: capitalist democracy in
the south and totalitarian communism in the north. Dynamics of the
Korean State provides a unique overview of how humans treasure
their individual lives and how these dynamics intertwine with
Korean history and state evolution.The book examines the
development of the Korean state from ancient times and sees its
roots in the Stone Age struggle for survival. The persistent theme
has been to Prolong Life - Postpone Death. Hence, the origins of
every state can be found in man's Will-to-Live, and this is
demonstrated in the Will/action framework offered by the author.
Human Will, not material determinism or divine plan, creates the
state. This primary Will generates five other Wills, which motivate
actions to culminate in the state and give it a fluidity over time.
The six Wills/actions are as follows: Will-to-Live/production;
Will-to-Freedom/innovation; Will-to-Power/organization;
Will-to-Comply/enforcement; Will-to-Transcend/political vision
& religion; and Will-to-Redirect/reform, usurpation, rebellion,
revolution. These in combination influence and partially determine
state configuration and fluidity, creating order, disorder, war,
prosperity, and poverty along the way. This book reveals the
undercurrents of Korean society, politics and history from a fresh
perspective. Neither pure history nor descriptive politics, it is a
significant contribution to a philosophical anthropology paradigm.
