이 논문은 1980년부터 2005년까지를" 시민사회 형성기(1980-2005)로 규정하고 한국의 기독교철학이 어떻게 형성되었는지를 다룬다. 한국의 기독교철학은 한국에서 연구되고 논의된 형이상학과 인식론과 윤리학 등을 포함하는 모든 철학적 추론을 기독교 진리관의 관점에서 반성적으로 숙고하는 철학이라고 정의한다. 이 논문은 한국철학사에서 개신교인들에 의해 주도된 기독교철학을 역사적으로 서술하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히 1980년부터 2005년까지의 한국철학사에서 세 가지 측면에 주목한다. 첫째 측면은 이 시기에 마르크시즘이 어떻게 한국철학에 수용되었고 다시 기독교철학자들에 의해 재해석되었나의 문제이다. 둘째는 시기적으로 동구권 사회주의 몰락과 맞물려 한국철학계에 수용된 포스트모더니즘이 어떻게 논의되었고 다시 기독교철학자에 의해 재해석되었는가이다. 셋째로는 한국의 기독교철학자들이'한국기독교철학회'를 설립하고 각 영역에서 서양철학을 어떻게 기독교적 관점에서 연구했는가이다. 1998년에 창립된 '한국기독교철학회'의 활동에 의해 분명하게 기독교철학'이라고 부를 수 있는 조직적인 철학활동이 한국 철학계에 등장하게 되었다. 이들의 철학은 다양한 전통과 방법을 사용하지만 기독교 신앙의 전제 위에서 한국 기독교인에 의해 연구되는 철학이라는 데 공통점이 있었다.

Christian Philosophy in Koreafrom 1980 to 2005Tae Yon Choi (Baekseok University) This article intends to identify Christian Philosophy in Korea from 1980 to 2005, the most recent era of Korean history. This era could be defined as the formating period of civil society. It is my definition of Korean Christian Philosophy that reflects every philosophical inferences studied and discussed in Korea including metaphysics, epistemology and ethics etc. from the Christian perspective. This article will especially describe Christian Philosophy performed by the Protestant Philosophers in Korea. This article keeps an eye on three aspects of Korean Philosophy in this period. First, how the Marxism would be appropriated to Korean Philosophy in this era and reinterpreted by Christian philosophers. Second, how the Postmodernism was enthusiastically accepted by Korean philosophers in echoing the collapse of the socialism in the eastern european countries and reinterpreted by Christian philosophers too. Thirds, how Christian philosophers established 'the Korean Society for Christian Philosophy' and worked on the many fields of philosophy. Indebted to this society Christian philosophy could be established in the Korean Society of Philosophy. Christian Philosophers also take use various philosophical traditions and methods, but they have the commonness on the presupposition of Christian faith.
