이 글은 동아시아 문화 연대의 정치, 경제적 필요성을 탈식민 및 제1세계의 제국적 세계 지배라는 논리적 틀 안에서 검토하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 탈식민 논리는 제1세계의 양심적 지식인들에 의해, 그리고 제1세계의 직접 통치 경험을 공유한 제3세계 지식인들에 의해 광범위하게 전개되어 온 바 있다. 언뜻 한문 교육과 무관한 담론처럼 이해될법한 이 이론적 흐름이 사실은 한자, 한문 교육의 미래적 위상과 불가분 연루되어 있다.한국의 언어 문화 상황은 한자 교육을 충분히 강조하는 듯 보이기도 하지만, 실은 한자, 한문 교육을 교양교육의 변방으로 소외시키면서 한글 중심의 체제를 다지는 쪽으로 기울어져 왔다. 이는 의식의 층위에서 조직적으로 수행되었다기보다 무의식의 층위에서 점진적으로 구현되어왔고 때문에 그 심각성에 둔감해진 형편이다. 한자, 한문 교육에 대한 국지화 혹은 국외화는 결국은 과거에 대한 열등감, 시간적 지속에 대한 현대적 불안에 기초한다. 결국 역사적 지속 시간 또는 기억의 연속성을 단절하거나 절개하여 이를 영어가 지배하는 세계화 시대의 현재에 절합하려는 모종의 이념이 우리 시대 문화를 규정하고 있음이 분명하다.기억의 단절 현상, 이에 따른 모국어의 왜곡, 그리고 자기 것에 대한 이중적 소외야말로 탈식민 논리가 파고든 핵심적 테마다. 즉 순수한 우리의 것을 강조하면 할수록 역설적으로 그것으로부터 멀어지고, 더 낯선 것의 침입을 허용할 잉여 공간을 개방하게 되는 모순이야말로 제국 문화에 종속된 제3세계 문화의 비극이다. 따라서 한자, 한문 문화와 그 교육 문제는 중국이라는 또 하나의 제국 문화를 용인하는 위험성을 안으면서도 동아시아가 제국적 지배를 벗어나기 위해 창조적으로 연대해야 하는 과정에 반드시 거쳐야 할 매듭이기도 하다.

The core issue this treatise presents is that the genuine thing which would be necessary for the East-asian to get the real post-colonial condition and the fair subjective position from the "Empire" is the overcome of the East-asian aspects as an altrui toward the western 1st world. Above all, a lot of post-colonialism conceal the economic subordination of the East-asia to the 1st world, as it were, the world financial system of the United States or the strategy of the Wall street. So, we East-asian have to expose the real phases of the globalisation controlled by the western capitalism. The cultural identity of the East-asia must be based on the two precondition, the economic independence and the consciousness of cultural subjectivity. The means of the settling we found out through a long investigation is the discovering the cultural common denominator of the East-asia which wouldn't negate any another culture. The one of that can be discoverable to us is the education of the classic Chines characters & literatures as the extensive culture of the East-asian liberty arts transmitted through so many hundreds years in East-asian civilizations. Of course, this doesn't mean the sinicization of the East-asian world. The classic Chines characters & literatures only represents the symbolization of the East-asian co-historic experiences and "the présence of the past" as the middle phase of the program could be called being subjectness. With the economic/political communication among East asian nations which have various their own linguistic/ religionary tradition, we, East-asian people have to confirm the cultural oneness which could gradually reduce the differences. This theoretical treatise tried to discover the cultural factor for the fan-asian solidarity in the educational tradition of the East-asia.
