《Morning Piano》 is the first collection of prose and posthumous works by Kim Jin-yeong, an aesthetician, philosopher, and former head of the Academy of Philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e It contains 234 diary entries from July 2017 to August 2018, written in a notebook while sitting in bed until just before delirium set in three days before his death.\u003cbr\u003e However, “Morning Piano” is not simply a diary of a struggle with illness.\u003cbr\u003e This book is a notebook of the teacher's achievements in literature, aesthetics, and philosophy, and an honest record that focuses on the small events that passed through his body, mind, and spirit after being diagnosed with cancer. \u003cbr\u003eIt cannot be denied that this is a personal writing of a patient who witnessed “all daily life come to a halt as if the shutter was pulled down,” but it is a heartwarming prose written with the dignity that only a scholar can portray “the patient’s life, its independence and authority, memories and reflections on the love and gratitude that he had finally encountered and discovered, and a life that opened his eyes to the world and others.”\u003cbr\u003e Just as the teacher always encouraged students to value studying for the reasoning that comes from within themselves, rather than studying for the sake of learning about difficult thinkers and philosophies, the book is filled with sentences that the teacher meticulously read while thinking about himself, the world, and others.\u003cbr\u003e These writings may seem like short notes to some, but the teacher's entire life is written within these aphorisms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e

This life lasted for about six months.\u003cbr\u003e The publication of this book, which seemed impossible, was possible thanks to ten meetings with students (who had taken the professor's class at the Academy of Philosophy) called \"When Proust and Benjamin Met\" that took place from March 29, 2018, to early July 2018. \u003cbr\u003eThe meetings, which consisted mainly of mini-lectures and casual conversations, always started at 1 p.m., but they continued on until 5 or 6 p.m., and sometimes even 9 p.m., without any end in sight. The words that were exchanged and scattered within the meetings helped the teacher solidify his determination to “write my own text, not someone else’s.”\u003cbr\u003e Another unexpected encounter with an editor, and a few weeks later, everything happened as if it were a lie, until the moment when we finally signed the contract with the working title 'Morning Piano'.\u003cbr\u003e But before we could even discuss the book in detail, the first thing we heard was the news of the teacher's passing.\u003cbr\u003e Author Eun-yu, who was also the teacher's disciple, says this in his recommendation.\u003cbr\u003e “Once I started taking notes in class, I couldn’t stop.\u003cbr\u003e “It was like listening to beautiful music and not being able to press the pause button,” the teacher said, adding that the words were “sheet music in sentences.” \u003cbr\u003eThose who remained gathered around the large sheet of music the teacher had left behind, each holding a musical note.\u003cbr\u003e With all my heart, I finally completed the beautiful music called “Morning Piano.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA shining aphorism caught while transparently disappearing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 《Morning Piano》 is full of brilliant aphorisms that only the teacher could catch.\u003cbr\u003e Speaking of Proust's later years, \"His later years, spent in his bedroom, were not lonely and quiet.\u003cbr\u003e It was a busier life than ever.\u003cbr\u003e In his bedroom, Proust was not lying comfortably.\u003cbr\u003e He must have been running around everywhere because every second was precious.\u003cbr\u003e (…) the reader can see.\u003cbr\u003e The part where he says, “His last book is full of the writing and sentences of a 100-meter dasher,” is a brilliant discovery that breaks the fixed gaze on the existence in the room. \u003cbr\u003eIn “Flowing means fleeting and disappearing, but only that which flows is alive,” you can feel the teacher’s deep gaze on life and death.\u003cbr\u003e “The world is beautiful, life is deep, there have been good and bad things in life, so blow, wind…” The sentences written while talking about the column in the Hankyoreh about poet Cheon Sang-byeong are full of positivity about life.\u003cbr\u003e And above all, I said, “Writing is not for me, it is for the typist.”\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for records from while sick.\u003cbr\u003e These records are not for me, but for those who will be left behind when I am gone.\u003cbr\u003e When I try to protect only myself, I become weaker day by day. \u003cbr\u003eThe teacher's confident tone, \"When I try to protect the typist, I become more certain day by day,\" allows us to gauge what kind of life it is and what kind of life it should be, one that never stops talking about love, beauty, and gratitude.\u003cbr\u003e “Piano in the morning.\u003cbr\u003e From the first sentence, “I look into the distance from the veranda and listen to the sound of the piano,” to the last sentence, “My heart is at ease,” I feel as if I have lived a life with the teacher.\u003cbr\u003e And, at the end of that book, we finally discover ourselves as “humans of music, humans of thought, and humans of pride.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAuthor's Note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I was diagnosed with cancer in July 2017.\u003cbr\u003e All the daily life that had been going on until then was halted as if the shutters were closed.\u003cbr\u003e Hospital life began and I began living the life of a patient.\u003cbr\u003e Exactly 13 months passed like that. \u003cbr\u003eThis article is a record of the small events that have passed through my body, mind, and spirit in the meantime.\u003cbr\u003e The contents of the record are memories and reflections on the patient's life, the independence and authority of that life, the love and gratitude that were discovered and met for the first time, thoughts that opened one's eyes to the world and others, or just meaningless moments that come and go, approach and leave without a trace before one's eyes and by one's heart.\u003cbr\u003e Like some kind of book that Paul Valéry and Roland Barthes wanted to write, these records are personal writings written just for me.\u003cbr\u003e This article does not qualify as a book because of this.\u003cbr\u003e But doesn't the inner self of an individual, especially when that individuality is in crisis, inevitably overlap with the realm of objectivity?\u003cbr\u003e It might be an excuse to want to bind the most private records into a public medium, a book. \u003cbr\u003eBut if this book can be a source of reflection and comfort for those who, similar to me or in another way, are facing an existential crisis, then it is not necessarily an excuse.
