What kind of president do we want, what kind of country do we want? It's a positive development that we're now routinely asking these questions, born of our times.\u003cbr\u003e It is also a valuable opportunity to reexamine what kind of president you want and what your national view is.\u003cbr\u003e Like it or not, aren't you a citizen of the Republic of Korea?\u003cbr\u003e To avoid repeating the same mistakes in the presidential election that will come sooner than expected, we must take this time to reflect more seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2011, Yoo Si-min, then the leader of a political party, published “What is a Nation?” in the process of exploring what a just and desirable nation is.\u003cbr\u003e Because it was a book that boldly revealed its political stance, I thought it would become an outdated theory over time.\u003cbr\u003e However, there were readers who consistently visited the book, and many of them asked for a revised edition with new cases added. \u003cbr\u003eYoo Si-min, who was present amidst the citizens' lament and anger last year, felt that he could no longer delay the revision process.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to convey more persuasively that there are various perspectives on the country, and to reiterate the importance of understanding and caring about the country.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to imagine what would happen after the candlelight vigils and create the possibility that we could build a great nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the preface to the revised edition, Yoo Si-min states, “I want to make it clear that readers who have read the first edition do not necessarily need to read the revised edition” (p. 8).\u003cbr\u003e In fact, this book has the same structure and basic framework as the first edition.\u003cbr\u003e After classifying the perspectives on the state into three categories (Chapters 1-3), we examine what kind of qualities a state should have in order to be governed (Chapter 4) and what it means to love the state properly (Chapter 5). \u003cbr\u003eAnd it discusses how national transformation is possible (Chapter 6), what true progressive politics is (Chapter 7), what values ​​a nation should idealize (Chapter 8), and finally, what ethics are necessary for politicians (Chapter 9).\u003cbr\u003e However, this book cannot be said to be the same as the first edition.\u003cbr\u003e Yoo Si-min's circumstances have changed, the political situation has changed rapidly, and the citizens have changed as well.\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition includes those changes.\u003cbr\u003e I hope this book will reach those who question what a proper nation should look like, those who held candles in the cold winter square, and those who, even in despair, still cling to hope for their nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can

1.\u003cbr\u003e From professional politician to full-time writer, citizen Yoo Si-min asks, \"What is a nation?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e At the time of writing the first edition (2010), Yoo Si-min was the leader of the now-defunct People's Participation Party.\u003cbr\u003e The book \"What is a State?\" was written by a progressive intellectual and practical politician as part of his efforts to seriously question the essence of the state and find the direction that progressive politics should pursue.\u003cbr\u003e I tried to look critically at previous regimes and find out what a good country looks like. \u003cbr\u003eAnd now, six years later, he has retired from politics and is living as a full-time writer.\u003cbr\u003e The people I meet often and the areas of activity have changed, and I spend most of my time reading books and writing.\u003cbr\u003e By publishing a book on writing, he has been able to meet readers of various age groups up close, and he has also appeared on television current affairs and entertainment programs to point out current social issues with his witty and blunt remarks.\u003cbr\u003e This change in Yoo Si-min's life became a kind of driving force that led to the writing of a revised edition.\u003cbr\u003e As I transitioned from being a politician to being a citizen, my perspective on the country also changed, and I realized anew what kind of national theory the citizens of today truly need.\u003cbr\u003e So, I removed all the parts that I had included in the first edition, including my political stance, arguments, and analysis of the country and politics. \u003cbr\u003eRather than insisting that the country should be like this, I tried to properly convey that there can be various perspectives on the country.\u003cbr\u003e In the revised edition, you will be able to encounter a more balanced and clearer theory of the state by Yoo Si-min.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.\u003cbr\u003e Yoo Si-min's Changing Writing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e One of the things that Yoo Si-min focused on while publishing this revised edition was the writing style.\u003cbr\u003e Although the content is largely the same as the previous edition, the method of delivery, that is, the method of expression, has been completely changed.\u003cbr\u003e The tone of the entire book changed as I reviewed the entire text, from small details like words and sentence structures to large-scale revisions to entire paragraphs.\u003cbr\u003e It's still changing, so it's difficult to generalize, but there's a significant reduction in modifiers and adverbs, and a warm, thoughtful perspective permeates sentences.\u003cbr\u003e A persuasive and sympathetic tone took the place of a sharp tongue. \u003cbr\u003eAstute readers who have consistently read Yoo Si-min's books will be able to fully sense these differences, and it will be quite enjoyable to read while comparing the differences from the first edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3.\u003cbr\u003e Remember what happened during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the preface to the first edition, Yoo Si-min reveals that the Yongsan tragedy in 2009 prompted him to begin serious reflection and study on the nation.\u003cbr\u003e The Yongsan tragedy, which occurred in the third year of the Lee Myung-bak administration, repeatedly raised questions about what a nation, government, and public power are, and numerous politicians and intellectuals expressed their opinions on this matter.\u003cbr\u003e But this was just the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e Since then, Korean society has been plagued by a series of brutal incidents that are impossible to rank.\u003cbr\u003e Every day, we see and experience dramatic events that are no less dramatic than any movie: the Four Major Rivers Project, the Sewol Ferry Disaster, the MERS outbreak, the death of farmer Baek Nam-gi, the Choi Soon-sil scandal, and the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye. \u003cbr\u003eThe problem is that these incidents are all deeply related to the 'nation' and the 'government', yet we either ignore them or easily forget about them.\u003cbr\u003e In the revised edition, Yoo Si-min filled in various parts with events that occurred during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations since the first edition in 2011.\u003cbr\u003e Not to criticize or evaluate.\u003cbr\u003e Let's recall it again and clearly see the state that lies behind it like a shadow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.\u003cbr\u003e What the 2016 Candlelight Vigil Left Us\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The biggest trigger that led Yoo Si-min to work on the revised edition was when an article related to the Choi Soon-sil Gate was reported on JTBC on October 24, 2016.\u003cbr\u003e What Yoo Si-min focused on here was not the incompetence of the Park Geun-hye administration, but the fact that millions of citizens, enraged and deplored by it, gathered in the square and held candlelight vigils together 16 times. \u003cbr\u003eOn December 9, 2016, the arrow of impeachment was fired, but a clear verdict has not yet been handed down.\u003cbr\u003e Some people are starting to give up as they see President Park Geun-hye and her aides consistently making excuses and lack of response, as well as the countless people involved.\u003cbr\u003e But we shouldn't stop here.\u003cbr\u003e We need to go further.\u003cbr\u003e This is why Yoo Si-min tells a story in the revised edition that is not much different from the one he told six years ago.\u003cbr\u003e If you want to live in a great country, a just country, each citizen must become better.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than spending all our energy lamenting the country's incompetence, we should think about what we can do and then take action.\u003cbr\u003e In order not to forget your heart that held a candle in the cold winter, we must become better ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.\u003cbr\u003e A comprehensive guide to the study of the state in one volume\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the time of its first edition, \"What is a State?\" was praised as a well-organized theory of the state in one volume. \u003cbr\u003eThe book clearly presents the diverse views on the 'state' put forth by prominent philosophers and theorists from the East and the West, past and present, and examines four theories of the state (Plato's teleological state theory, Hobbes' statist state theory, Locke and Mill's liberal state theory, and Marx's instrumental state theory) one by one.\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition basically retains the same structure as the first edition, so these advantages remain intact.\u003cbr\u003e It will serve as a classic introductory text introducing the discourse on nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e However, I simply wrote down the words of the thinkers that were directly quoted at length in the first edition.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, for readers who want to read more deeply, I have left the source of the content in the footnotes.\u003cbr\u003e As Yoo Si-min said, what is important now is to accurately understand and accept that there are various and detailed perspectives on the country.\u003cbr\u003e To properly criticize a country, a government, or a president, you must first study. \u003cbr\u003eThis is also our duty as citizens of a country.
