Anger in Thomas Aquinas and han-full anger | Posted on:2016-07-01 | Degree:Ph.D | Type:Dissertation | University:University of Notre Dame | Candidate:Lee, JoungEun | Full Text:PDF | GTID:1475390017983579 | Subject:Theology | Abstract/Summary: | | The goal of this dissertation is to bring together in conversation Aquinas's thoughts on anger and the han ([special character omitted])-full anger as a culture-bound syndrome in South Korean people and society, and to make a constructive proposal for working with the anger of the han-filled. Aquinas' ontological cognitivist theory of passion and anger in particular provides a useful hermeneutical tool to analyze and articulate the inner structure of han-full anger and its moral character. The study of han-full anger offers Aquinas's normative language of anger a chance to encounter the etymological and phenomenological reality of embodied anger and further the life of its bearer living in a marginalized life. Finally, Aquinas's virtue ethics, taken together with han studies, suggests a modified way to work with the han-full anger. | Keywords/Search Tags: | Han-full anger, Aquinas's | | Related items |
