【Course Objectives】

Mainly focusing on the relationship between the unpolitic and the politic, we try to understand various interpretation of Christianity. Along with this, we aim to deepen our understanding of the circumstances in which they have arisen.

【Course Contents】

In the Bible, Christ actively engaged with those who were considered "sinners”, such as the poor, the sick and tax collectors. They were excluded from the society of the time. The neighborly love preached by Christ is a love that transcends social norms and distinctions between friends and foes. It is of a different nature than the love directed to virtue and excellence, which has a social normative role on which politics is based in the Greek world. However, Christianity, which can be said to be unpolitical in nature, was connected to political authority as the Roman Empire made it the state religion. Throughout the history of Christianity, this unpolitical and political nature has intertwined and given rise to a variety of interpretations. In this lecture, I will select some thinkers and examine how these two characteristics are related in the history of Christianity. And at the same time, consider the relationship with the context they lived. In the second half of the lecture, we will examine the understanding of Christianity by Kant and Hegel, who lived from the late 18th century to the 19th century, and Kierkegaard, who lived in the 19th century, when religious authority was questioned. His criticism of enlightened Christianity revolves around the relationship between the unpolitical and political nature of Christianity.
