rather than a pope.\u003cbr\u003e To become a disciple, he said that he would take the 'lowest position' and become a servant in that position.\u003cbr\u003e This is also a moment that makes us think again about Jesus' foot-washing ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e Why did he wash his disciples' feet?\u003cbr\u003e Could it be because the feet are the lowest part of the body?\u003cbr\u003e If so, it may be said that Pope Francis is the pope who has understood the meaning of the foot-washing ceremony most accurately among all the popes in history.\u003cbr\u003e What would it be like if God were to briefly appear on a dark earth?\u003cbr\u003e We see streetlights in Pope Francis's steps.\u003cbr\u003e At first glance, it seemed like I saw the silhouette of God there.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Streetlight\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is said that the contractual nature of the ring comes from the binding nature of the ring around the finger, but isn't this a misunderstanding of the meaning of the contract? \u003cbr\u003eBecause the force of binding cannot truly bring about the power of a promise.\u003cbr\u003e What is important is that the two beings meet sincerely.\u003cbr\u003e It is not force, constraint, or a clumsy compromise, but a strength that comes from affirming each other's potential.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps the ring shape of the ring suggests that it presupposes a shared emptiness rather than the stubborn self-assertion of the two beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So, the ring is a couple ring no matter whose finger it is on.\u003cbr\u003e Because the ring shape already suggests the meeting of two beings.\u003cbr\u003e It's already hot without even putting your finger in it.\u003cbr\u003e The circular ring, shaped like a mouth, speaks of a mutually affirming encounter through a warm silence through empty space.\u003cbr\u003e Even if you are not a lover, the ring itself conveys the meaning of meeting and promise.\u003cbr\u003e The same applies to situations of social conflict where claims clash sharply and hurt each other.\u003cbr\u003e How can we meet? \u003cbr\u003eHow can we reach mutual affirmation?\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"The Ring\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The peculiarity of this light is that it is not a light that 'eliminates' darkness.\u003cbr\u003e To put it bluntly, it's the other way around.\u003cbr\u003e The light from the stand returns the darkness to its original form.\u003cbr\u003e The moment you turn on the stand, the surroundings become darker.\u003cbr\u003e But this is not darkness.\u003cbr\u003e The darkness that had been spread throughout the room, and thus invisible, gathered around the stand and 'revealed' itself clearly.\u003cbr\u003e The darkness is not erased.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, we are only now realizing that darkness existed here.\u003cbr\u003e Darkness is experienced as soft, secret, and deep.\u003cbr\u003e Darkness is not only perceived, but it envelops us and touches our bodies.\u003cbr\u003e This experience makes us realize that the darkness of the universe is not all bad things that need to be eliminated.\u003cbr\u003e It is neither good nor evil, it just is. \u003cbr\u003eAccording to the wise men's expression, it is as it is (因是).\u003cbr\u003e The minimal, adequate light from the stand subtly reveals and cuts through human preconceptions and dichotomies about light and dark, and all things.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Stand\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you look at it as a species, it is a mongrel, and if you look at it as a book, it is the death of the original author.\u003cbr\u003e It is a 'polluted' record in that its original origins were later mixed up by the intervention of something else.\u003cbr\u003e It implies a multi-world rather than an individual one, and a nomadic rather than a settled world.\u003cbr\u003e If so, wouldn't it be possible to say that Post-it notes are objects that reflect the extremes of modernity and the characteristics of the post-modern world?\u003cbr\u003e In this respect, the emergence of Wikipedia, a collective intelligence encyclopedia created in a completely different way from the encyclopedias of the Enlightenment, could be called the web version of Post-it notes. \u003cbr\u003eIt is collective and can be accessed and added to anywhere, without relying on the author's unique authority, the writer's individual intellectual ability, or the permanence of recorded knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e The circulation of knowledge is much freer and more widespread.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---From

the sights of the world are contained, neither overlapping nor reduced.\u003cbr\u003e The bead, which is one and contains everything, is a kaleidoscope that allows us to glimpse all the world's perspectives from a single angle.\u003cbr\u003e It could be a metaphor for the divine eye, or something like the Buddhist Avatamsaka Sutra, which sees the universe in a single flower.\u003cbr\u003e As someone who always thinks about the 'poetic' as a critical writer, that bead was also an image of a certain poetic moment. \u003cbr\u003eA critical attitude inevitably involves logic, but if it cannot encounter the mystery of things that cannot be reached through the logic of the intellect, criticism becomes limited to dry rationalism.\u003cbr\u003e This is true not only of poetry but also of things.\u003cbr\u003e As Benjamin showed, for the critic the mystery of poetry and the mystery of things are indistinguishable.\u003cbr\u003e _From the text\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although it is called the 'philosophy' of things, it avoids difficult and rigid philosophical terms and focuses on explaining them in familiar, everyday language.\u003cbr\u003e As stated in the preface, “I hope that encounters with these objects can become ‘doors’ that lead to other times in everyday life,” for the author, objects are not one-way doors that ‘inject’ philosophy into readers, but rather ‘open doors’ that are triggered by them and allow them to freely cross them.\u003cbr\u003e In short, it is not a writing that 'explains things through philosophy', but rather a writing that 'makes things philosophical'.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHis writing is unstoppable, starting from various objects, passing through Eastern and Western thinkers, and traversing a wide range of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e For example, the small hinges on the door remind us of the works of poet Yi Sang, and the 'pillar of the Way' that Zhuangzi considered the truth.\u003cbr\u003e It also targets the modern Korean 'white myth' by following the logic of 'pollution' and 'purity' put forward by the German Nazis in wet tissues, or discovers the wish for good fortune in a bojagi (wrapping cloth) and reflects on the true meaning of charisma that a leader must possess.\u003cbr\u003e As critic Shin Hyeong-cheol, who wrote the recommendation, put it, these are writings that “do not elicit a mere agreement, but rather a bewildering stimulation.”\u003cbr\u003e This bold leap creates room for insight and a vibrant playground of questions as wide as the leap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, the names of objects are arranged alphabetically over a total of four parts. \u003cbr\u003eI believe that you can read it in order or just pick it up and read it as you like.\u003cbr\u003e In those moments when the objects around me suddenly seem unfamiliar, or on a day when I am rolling along with inertia without a shred of specialness, it would be nice to open it up like a dictionary and read the meaning of the object as if discussing it with the author.\u003cbr\u003e Because this idea, sometimes provocative and occasionally problematic, combines the height of freedom and the depth of thought.\u003cbr\u003e As it was for Kafka, this book, The Philosophy of Things, will become an axe that instantly breaks open our frozen perception of everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The cover of the revised edition of 『Philosophy of Things』 features Kim Soo-gang's work, \"Bojagi 009.\"\u003cbr\u003e It follows the work “Teabag 1” featured on the cover of “Philosophy of the Moment” and stands shoulder to shoulder with the project.\u003cbr\u003e This photograph was taken using a 19th-century printing technique called 'black bichromate'. \u003cbr\u003eThis work is created through the method of the 'body', touching, removing, and stacking the oil with one's hands to add color, making it a perfect encounter through the door of this book that leads into 'objects'.
