Today, my role is to communicate this deep and philosophical subject with the public in more understandable way. I may be suitable for this position because I am not an expert on this subject of post human, either. In my opinion, the one of proceeding issues, abstract formalism meant using languages to simplify the creative and organic processes of education, ultimately creating detailed formats and systems. Again evaluating the situations with the system already built and horning the system more detailed and systematic again which will suffocate the organic process of education. I think the current emphasis on the kindergarten evaluation, the accreditation process of children’s houses (day care centers), the Nuri Curriculum, the evaluation of the college of education, and the university evaluation is in the same line with abstract formalism. Everyone knows that these evaluations were tiring and difficult and not representing the real world of education, but he cannot find any other alternative and thinks this detailed evaluation system at least will not harm our education. The issue of this type is not just a situation in Korea, but a shared and sympathetic issue shared by the world recently. Through today’s lecture sessions, we have become an opportunity to feel the problems of our educational reality and think again. We have tried to solve the problem in this paradigm, despite the fact that we are aware of the problems of the abstract formalism. Our efforts have become increasingly absorbed in the formalism, and in this process, we are losing our individual agency. We need to find new perspective and paradigm. I believe that the arrival of the post human era will help us to push ourselves beyond the abstract formalism paradigm. The advent of post human make us face the sense of crisis. The abstract formalism paradigm is no longer suitable for us to survive in this coming future, pushing us for a different perspective. This crisis will provide us with an opportunity to change. To be simplistic, an emphasis should be placed on the characteristics which humans have as their own rather than abstract formalism which machine might do better. Professor Lim’s lecture showed a new perspective and framework to move forward and showed hope and possibilities. Two perspectives on post human, transhuman and critical humanism, provide good understanding of what we experience now and future. Professor Lim insists to go beyond anthrocentrism based on the reflective abilities of humanity and recover true humanism. So far, humanism has been absorbed in human superiority and has obviously been forgetting that human is a part of the larger part of the world and exploiting the earth, The most humane aspect can survive in this post human era and this is true humanism which she asks us to recover. This is the healing of humanity and the restoration of mankind. She find the example of true humanism from children and their learning and their attitude to face this world. Although it is a somewhat romantic perspective, I hope to see the bright future from this perspective.
