What’s the Right Thing to Do for Korean Reunification? - In terms of my autobiography

Theo-ethical understandings are autobiographical in the sense that how one conducts oneself, and how one lives, defimes or structures one s moral and theological claims. My biography, in other words, undergirds my theo-ethical discourse. This understanding highlights the fact that knowledge is grounded in experience. Knowledge is not merely a corpus of ideas; it’s also an understanding that emerges from experience. Recognizing the role of my life’s journey in my theo-ethical discourse also leads me to value perspectives other than my own. Yes, recognizing that one’s experiences influence greatly what one thinks makes one recognize that there is a vast multiplicity of perspectives different from one’s own, precisely because there are endless experiences different from one’s own. One’s limited experience leads to accepting the experiences of others and the understanding that emerges from those experiences. I believe the autobiographical approach to theology and ethics, therefore, is important in our modern pluralistic society.
