研究室紹介
Professor Yoon, Il Hwan's research lab specializes in continental philosophy, with a focus on the intersections of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and psychoanalysis. The lab explores foundational concepts such as responsibility, subjectivity, and the ethical dimensions of language and metaphor in Western thought, particularly through the works of thinkers like Derrida, Lacan, Patočka, and Yeats. Research directions include the genealogy of responsibility, the role of the 'gaze' in self-formation, and the deconstruction of metaphysical metaphors in philosophy and literature.

15In The Gift of Death, Jacques Derrida assesses Jan Patočka’s fundamental and original thesis of Heretical Essays on the History of Philosophy, namely, that the Platonic motif of the care of the soul is the embryo of European life and the starting point of the genealogy of responsibility in the history of Europe, and that only in Christian Europe the motif of the care of the soul is transformed into a true principle of responsibility. According to Patočka, in Christianity, the responsibility of t
Faced with an unknown and uncertain reality in the early 20th century, W. B. Yeats is poignantly aware of the impossibility of objective truth as well as of ineffectiveness of all traditional modes of acquiring knowledge. He well recognizes that there is no center or a focal point of reference in a reality, which is sought over and over again. “The Second Coming” well expresses the absence of a fixed center or origin of experience in Yeats’s historical system. It shows that there is a non-locus
"White Mythology" offers a lengthy, detailed, and a meticulously argued account of the role of metaphor in various texts of the Western philosophical tradition from Aristotle to Gaston Bachelard. But one would be misguided if one took the text as an essay about the deconstruction of philosophy with a nonargumentative, literary, and metaphoric play. The text is not primarily concerned with metaphor but with the difference and its economy between metaphor and concept. In "White Mythology," Derrida
In T. S. Eliot’s early poetry, the main characters from Prufrock to Gerontion are drifting lonely and alienated without anchoring in the world. They desire reconciliation with the world, but the greater their desire is, the more hurt, divided and drifted they are. Narcissus retreats from the human world and is transformed into various figures of self until he becomes the dancer to God. Prufrock is trapped in constantly overturned and delayed time, as he is divided between the past and the future
In Lacan's view, Kant's moral law inevitably brings about sense of guilt in the subject, not only because the moral law is tied up with its prohibition and the subject's consequent desire to transgress it, but also because the law being in the very formal indeterminacy, the subject himself has to assume the responsibility of 'translating' the abstract injunction of the moral law into a series of concrete obligations. The subject, however, suffers from its own being guilty even more when the rele
