Korea is the world’s only divided country. Communism, imperialism, capitalism, and the military rivalry between the two Koreas are the greatest obstacles to the reunification of this nation. The primary task of this study is to examine the notion of ideology for the Korean reunification. To accomplish this task, the notion of ideology is discussed in the works of Karl Marx, Aloysius Pieris, and Juan Luis Segundo. For Marx, ideology is a false consciousness. He uses ideology in a negative sense to mean a rational justification of the status quo. or the unexamined theory behind immoral praxis. Unlike Marx, Pieris describes ideology as a worldview, that is, a framework used to understand and relate to the world. For him, a worldview is programmatic. For Pieris, the purpose of a worldview or ideology is to change the present disorder in the world. Segundo considered ideology to be the system of goals and means that serves as the necessary backdrop for any human option or line of action. In particular, Segundo focuses on the relationship between faith and ideology. The relationship between faith and ideology is very important in understanding an ethics of reconciliation as a new praxis in the divided Korea. Regarding the notion of reconciliation in this study, the term is examined by focusing on the materials of Ada Maria Isasi–Diaz, a Cuban–American Christian Ethicist. For Isasi–Diaz, her paradigm are 1. reconciliation is about the future, not the past, about building a common future; 2. differences as good and positive; 3. dialogue as a praxis of reconciliation; 4. reconciliation as a religious, social, and civic virtue and as a mystique. In order to achieve the aesthetic reunification of Korea, I suggest an ethics of reconciliation in the divided Korean peninsula. It makes clear that reunification means reconciliation and that to accomplish this Christian must focus on a spirituality of Cross to have a reconciling practice between God and human being. Because our relationship with God is intrinsically linked to the way we relate to each other, a reconciling God cannot but ask of those who believe to have a reconciling attitude towards each other between North and South Korea.
