This thesis is written for seeing how the concept of filial piety was expressed in our traditional society and through what kind of discussion it was represented in 1950's by referring to his major study of a lecture on national ethics(｢國民倫理特講｣). Bum-Boo(凡父) is an oriental philosopher getting public attention recently in academic world. And he made his own idea by reconsiderating or coining the concept of ‘東方’, ‘花郞’, ‘a theory of national ethics(國民倫理)’. A lecture on national ethics(｢國民倫理特講｣) is an collective one based on “a theory of national ethics” among his a few works. Without any investigation on it, just because his name is on the list of “one of special members 50 for Reconstruct Move”, his genius was ignored. So this thesis shows that what position filial piety had in the idea of Bum-Boo(凡父)'s ‘a theory of national ethics(國民倫理論)’ and what influence it had on political powers in 1950's and 1960's. We kept track of these connections to know the circumstances at that time based on some data such as newspapers and statements. I think there is still some part which needs to be supplemented, but filial piety which is core of Bum-Boo(凡父)'s ‘a theory of national ethics(國民倫理論)’ was 苦肉策 to attract our unity against the dictatorship under president Lee's administration. Bum-Boo(凡父), though he was out of political powers, brought the concept of filial piety to take publish sentiment into the right direction and provide the new vision. And through this, he talked about 'unity' to be better nation.
