이 논문은 후기 근대를 사는 오늘날 필요한 교육과정의 내용을 고찰한 글이다. 후기 근대의 사회에 필요한 교육은 단순히 전문적 지식만을 전달하는 과정을 넘어 학문 윤리와 공동체적 윤리를 겸비한 자기지도력을 갖 춘 사람을 양성하는 데 있을 것이다. 그것을 이 글에서는 윤리적 리더 육성 을 위한 교과과정 개발로 논의를 전개한다. 이를 위해 여기서는 특정대학교를 전형으로 삼아 구체적으로, 교과과정의 특 성, 교과과정의 내용과 의미, 이러한 과정을 실행함에 있어서 기대되는 효과 와 문제점 등을 중심으로 서술하고 있다. 이러한 작업을 통해 윤리적 리더 교육의 교과과정이 성공적으로 실행될 수 있다면, 어려움에 처한 한국 대학 교육에 나름대로의 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 따라 대학교육을 철학적 인간이해에 바탕한 인성교육과, 철학적 사고와 비판적 사고 및 논리적 글쓰기를 통한 이중적인 과정으로 구성하고자 한다. 이 과정을 이른바 “윤리적 리더 교육”으로 이름하고 있다. 이 논문은 그러한 교육의 철학적 의미와 반성은 물론, 그 내용에 대해 기술하고 있다.

This paper considers the education curriculum required in today’s world. The purpose of education for the late modern society goes beyond the mere transfer of specialized knowledge and to the development of individuals with self-leadership capacity, who possess the ethics of both the scholarship and the community. In this piece, such argument is made for the development of curriculum aimed at cultivating ethical leaders. Towards that goal, this paper uses “the Catholic University of Korea” as a model to discuss in detail the characteristics of the curriculum, the contents and significance of the curriculum, and the expected effects and problems by putting this curriculum into practice. If the curriculum for ethical leader education could be successfully put to work through this project, it will make a contribution to the university education which is facing difficulty. As such, the structure for the university education will be two-fold, with humanistic education based on a philosophical understanding of people on the one hand, and a philosophical and critical thinking, as well as logical writing on the other hand. This paper accounts for the philosophical meaning of, and reflection upon, such education, in addition to the contents of the education.
