Cha Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land 13: The Two Branches of Philosophy
 |
Description
Book Introduction
An amazing reading experience that expands a child's thinking and nurtures their inner self.
A philosophical journey with President Chae
Understanding the pulse of philosophy that is difficult to grasp through textbooks
“A must-read for elementary school students recommended by education experts!”
“My child’s favorite book that makes you wait for the next volume while reading!”
“A book I confidently recommend to anyone I care about!”
Why do children need liberal arts? Author Chae Sa-jang explains that liberal arts is the humanities, or, simply put, "broad yet shallow knowledge."
It is not only basic knowledge that improves children's grades, but also knowledge that helps them understand themselves and the world they live in.
The question of whether children can understand 'me' and 'the world' was a groundless one.
Through the "Chae Sa-jang's Wide and Shallow Land" series, children gained knowledge that spread widely, and parents realized that these books were different from simple educational comics.
Both children and parents enjoy the joy of broadening their horizons and engaging in rich intellectual conversations.
Now our intellectual journey has passed through history, economics, politics, social ethics, and science, and has finally reached the core of philosophy.
Philosophy is the knowledge that expands the world the most.
To study well, to build good relationships, and to live well in reality, you must know the essence of humanity and life.
Philosophers have not stopped asking questions since ancient times.
'Who am I?' 'What is the world?' 'Where does truth lie?'
This persistent question may have been pushed aside by school and daily life, but it becomes even more urgent in these turbulent times.
In today's society, where complex political and social conditions, difficult economic situations, conflicts between humans and machines, the confusion of the real and the fake, and the life for show and the life that exists are intertwined, this becomes the most crucial question.
The more chaotic a society becomes, the more we need to think about the basics.
What questions should we ask and what answers should we pursue? What perspective should we have and how should we live? This is why philosophy is so crucial for children of this age.

Publisher's Review
Now, here, the great teaching that protects me unfolds.
In times when the answer is not visible,
We need a compass to guide our lives.
The terminology of philosophy is unfamiliar and the process of thinking is complex.
It would be a difficult task for a child to understand in detail the deep thoughts and arguments of every philosopher.
However, it is quite possible for even elementary school students to grasp the vast stream of discourse.
Author Chae Sa-jang divides the perspectives on important truths in the history of philosophy into three major categories: absolutism, relativism, and skepticism.
To most easily understand the flow of Western philosophy, we must grasp the larger context centered on these three positions.
The dawn of modernity dawned with the Renaissance.
The age of reason has now begun.
As philosophers explored how to arrive at truth, rationalism, which emphasized rational reasoning, and empiricism, which prioritized experience and observation, developed.
In this way, the two major strands of philosophy complement each other while opposing each other.
Finally, Kant's idealism synthesizes rationalism and empiricism, settling a long and drawn-out debate.
In modern times, philosophy has taken on an aspect bordering on skepticism.
Nietzsche took up a hammer and sought to destroy the grand narratives deeply embedded in Western culture, while existentialists, including Sartre, sought to focus on the existence of human beings themselves, rather than reason or God.
The 21st century seems to be a time when diverse ideologies and ideas are respected.
However, on the other hand, modern people are forced into endless competition within uniform values, and thoughts that differ from others become the subject of conflict and exclusion.
While experiencing limitless technological advancements, we also feel powerless in the face of desire and power.
What children really need in the era they will live in may not be technology or theory, but a philosophical perspective.
Will humanity's reason and experience truly shine like a beacon during this time? I hope children will find the light that illuminates their future through their reading experiences.

We live in an age where more learning materials than ever are available through books and media.
Today's children take in a lot of information, but they may not have the time or energy to synthesize that knowledge and digest it into their own thoughts.
What we need more than anything is to connect the flow of knowledge and make it our own.
Speaking 'my thoughts' is not something that can be studied by memorization.
For children who need to understand hidden meanings and contexts and apply them to real life, this book will be an excellent teacher and discussion forum.
As important as knowledge is the power of thinking.
