This book considers both Koreas - North Korea and South Korea - to
examine possible pathways for the years leading up to 2032 and
beyond, thus offering a composite picture of Korea and its
strategic relevance in Asia and the world at large. Through a
combined South-North Olympic team and an effort of jointly hosting
the Games, Republic of Korea president Moon Jae-in has marked the
year 2032 as special in the future of the Korean Peninsula.
Although the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has expressed
scepticism about a combined hosting of the Games, the expectation
in Korea is that this event will underline the shared destiny of
the people inhabiting the peninsula and realign two states still
caught in an ideologically fraught civil conflict that is one of
the last vestiges of the Cold War. Chapters begin with a brief
historical review and analysis of the present, before moving to
consider how these will shape the next decade, drawing comparative
and complementary analyses. No matter how contrasting the
contemporary trajectories of both North and South Korea might
appear, 'Korea' as a singular entity is an old concept still
containing great possibilities. As the ongoing inter-Korean
reconciliation process underscores, the futures of North and South
Korea can be found in a complementary singular Korea, which would
again represent an important political, strategic, cultural, and
social space in Asia. An evaluation of the future trajectory,
social awareness and perception of the Koreas, this book offers a
valuable contribution to the study of North and South Korea and
Asian Politics.

Translated here into English for the first time, F. W. J.
Schelling's 1842 lectures on the Philosophy of Mythology are an
early example of interdisciplinary thinking. In seeking to show the
development of the concept of the divine Godhead in and through
various mythological systems (particularly of ancient Greece,
Egypt, and the Near East), Schelling develops the idea that many
philosophical concepts are born of religious-mythological notions.
In so doing, he brings together the essential relatedness of the
development of philosophical systems, human language, history,
ancient art forms, and religious thought. Along the way, he engages
in analyses of modern philosophical views about the origins of
philosophy's conceptual abstractions, as well as literary and
philological analyses of ancient literature and poetry.
