Song-Chong Lee's Ham Sok Hon's Ssial Philosophy for a Cosmopolitan
Vision offers an introduction to the philosophy of Ham Sok Hon ( ),
an iconic figure in the intellectual and political history of
modern Korea, and a discussion of the contributions of his ssial (
/seeds, people) philosophy to cosmopolitanism. Known as Gandhi of
Han'guk, Ham (1901-1989) was at the epicenter of a series of
tumultuous political events in Korea and played a pioneering role
in progressive social activism, including the independence
movement, promotion of nationalist education, protests against
military regimes, and pietistic, religious liberalism. According to
Lee, Ham developed his own syncretic, authentic philosophy of ssial
and applied it to his understanding and assessment of theology,
history, politics, and even international relations. His syncretism
culminated at his anthropology of ssial and his expanded notion of
community. Lee argues that Ham's ssial philosophy, which
reconstructed the citizen's identity as an active agent for
political progress, led him to defy the excessively parochial
nationalism, romanticized patriotism, and indoctrinated religiosity
with which he believed the whole society was infatuated during the
mid-twentieth century--and ultimately to advocate for a
cosmopolitan community.
