German Reunification / Habermas

It is said that Germany's economy will overtake Japan soon. No matter how difficult the world economy is, the German economy always grows. The reason why Germany is strong is that it is a country of engineering that is superior to ideology.


War and conflict are rampant in the world these days. The reasons are 1) ideology 2) conservative leaders' tendency to conflict 3) temperament of leaders who are older than middle-aged age. Of course, there is support from people of the same disposition. The tendency of the people cannot be ignored. This is because it rationalizes the tendencies of leaders.

 

The reason why Germany unified is because of its rational national orientation. This is because Germans were able to overcome ideological prejudice, stereotypes, or inertia quickly. The reason why she was able to work for a long time as Chancellor of Germany, an engineer (Merkel) from East Germany, shortly after the unification, is because of Germany's rational tendency. Compared to Korea, Korea has a long way to go. Before talking about unification on the Korean Peninsula, we should first look back on social tendencies contaminated with ideological concepts.

 

Jurgen Habermas, a philosopher of the Frankfurt School in Germany, says that in our everyday world, communication is conducted aimed at a valid agreement, not violence and coercion, and he calls this rationality of communication.

 

Disruption is caused by corrupt ideas, and peace is brought by healthy substance.
