He evaluates Han Byung-Chul as breaking this ideological silence and opening up new possibilities for cultural criticism from an East Asian perspective.\u003cbr\u003e This means that Professor Han Byung-chul is the first Asian philosopher to make a big splash in Germany's intellectual world. \u003cbr\u003eAfter majoring in engineering in his home country, Han Byung-chul, a philosopher living in Germany, began studying philosophy in Germany and has been publishing books consistently with prestigious German publishers. Through “The Fatigued Society,” he has emerged as one of the most notable philosophers in Germany and a new type of cultural critic who uses the language of Western philosophy while incorporating Eastern messages into it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As soon as it was published, 『The Fatigued Society』 became a hot topic, generating a surprisingly enthusiastic response from readers for a philosophy book.\u003cbr\u003e Almost all major German newspapers and broadcasters covered the book in significant detail, praising it as a sharp examination of the core issues of the times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Professor Han Byeong-cheol keenly captures the paradigm shift in modern society. \u003cbr\u003eThe change from a society based on hostility or negativity between the self and the other (Cold War, immunology, disciplinary society) to a society where such negativity has been eliminated and positivity dominates instead of negativity has occurred since the latter half of the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e Professor Han Byeong-cheol calls this new society a performance society, and the people living in this society performance subjects.\u003cbr\u003e If the society of the past was a society of negativity achieved through prohibition (“you must not do it”), the performance society is a society of positivity where “you can do it” is the highest value.\u003cbr\u003e In this society, the only remaining discipline is to succeed, and the most emphasized thing for success is the spirit of positivity (“Yes, we can!”).\u003cbr\u003e However, positivity unconstrained by negativity results in an excess of positivity and crushes the self in a sense different from the threat or oppression of others. \u003cbr\u003eThe ego, which seeks to confirm its existence as a subject solely through its own abilities and achievements, becomes exhausted, and the frustration of not being able to meet the demands it has set for itself leads to depression.\u003cbr\u003e Han Byung-chul summarizes these social changes as follows:\u003cbr\u003e “The negativity of a disciplinary society produces madmen and criminals.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, a performance-based society creates depressed people and dropouts.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, the performance society is interpreted as a result of the evolution of the capitalist system.\u003cbr\u003e By encouraging individual desires to achieve greater success through greater achievement, capitalism maximizes overall productivity.\u003cbr\u003e Capitalist exploitation thus takes on the appearance of voluntary exploitation.\u003cbr\u003e The subject of achievement exploits himself.\u003cbr\u003e He is both the perpetrator and the victim.\u003cbr\u003e The performer carries his own labor camp. \u003cbr\u003eWhen the flood of success books say, “You are your own manager,” Han Byung-chul reads it as, “You are your own exploiter.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Han Byung-chul advocates the value of a contemplative life, inspiring inaction, boredom, and rest against the hyperactivity and overstimulation of a performance-oriented society.\u003cbr\u003e From this perspective, the concept of 'fatigue' also acquires new meaning.\u003cbr\u003e In a performance-based society, 'fatigue' is a decline in one's ability to do something, and is simply something to be overcome.\u003cbr\u003e But Han Byeong-cheol, who starts from the value of inaction, sees another aspect of fatigue.\u003cbr\u003e Fatigue suppresses the desire for overactivity and alleviates the performance-oriented obsession of a self filled with positive spirit.\u003cbr\u003e The tired ego can break free from the infantile world that whips itself for its own success, restore relationships with others, and find new inspiration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHan Byung-Chul offers clear answers to the questions people feel in Western society, which has broken down all authority and realized the most complete individual freedom, a society of positivity where negativity seems almost completely eliminated: “Why are we still not truly free?” and “Why are we not happy?”\u003cbr\u003e That may be why the book has had such a huge impact in Germany, the most economically successful country in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The image of the performance-based society depicted in Han Byung-chul's \"Fatigue Society\" largely matches the reality of Korean society.\u003cbr\u003e This point is confirmed by the fact that books on life that preach success through the power of positivity are selling well in the Korean book market.\u003cbr\u003e The ideal society that Koreans desire is probably one where ability (achievement) and success coincide. \u003cbr\u003ePeople also saw this ideal in Huh Gak, who overcame an unfortunate background and became the winner of an audition program with only his singing skills.\u003cbr\u003e However, Han Byung-chul's book makes us realize that the ideal that ability (achievement) = success can never be the goal of an ideal society, as it comes from the paradigm of a performance-based society that makes ability (achievement) the highest value.\u003cbr\u003e When the proposition that \"to exist, one must be able to do\" becomes an internalized, supreme task in the minds of every individual, society will, as Han Byung-chul said, produce a large number of depressed patients and dropouts.
