츠빙글리 신 인식을 통한 윤리적 문법 이해 : 4차 산업혁명의 역기능을 중심으로

Abstract

Let God be God, let a human being be a human being. This was a core message of the Reformation. Can we claim the absoluteness of God and the relativeness of a human being in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Can the ultimate dignity and hope of humanity be emphasized not in the specific role or achievement of humans for the universe, but in the relationship with God and the covenant with God? Can we recognize the boundaries between God and human beings in this age of Artificial Intelligence?BR This article is an attempt to revisit the legacy of the Swiss Reformation which is the root of mainstream Protestantism in Korea and to reflect on the issue of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In this regard the author reflects on these questions retrospectively and prospectively.BR This article is composed as follows: The first part focuses on the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and artificial intelligence. The second part deals with the subject of the Swiss Reformer Ulrich Zwingli, who dealt with the perception of God and human beings and their relations and derived theological ethics. The third part reflects on the relationship between God and humans in the age of artificial intelligence and the ethical issues in the age of acceleration.BR The Swiss Reformation was able to liberate people from the fear of oppression at the hands of the medieval Church, an institutional authority which was not based on the Bible. That is why the Reformers criticized people for being in captivity and claimed liberation from the authority and heterodoxy. Humanism was a movement that opposed institutional authority in the middle Ages and claimed human autonomy. But the reformers were looking for a third way, theonomy.BR In particular, the core ethical message of Zwingli’s Reformation was not to monopolize private power, but to call for justice of distribution in the light of divine Righteousness, not to pursue a personal goodness, but to pursue a common goodness. It was an attempt to reform the social structure through the Reformation. The Swiss Reformation still provides some direction and clue for finding solutions to the problems we face in the 21st century. It is related to the threefold relationship of God, humans and nature and to recognize human boundaries and limitedness.BR In this era when human individualization and machine humanization are accelerating, what we need is a common sense of purpose which based on the incarnation of God’s love instead of the divinization of human beings and global collaboration for the public goodness.BR
