The advocate of ‘State/Nation Building’ Movement and Its Ideological Orientation - A Note on The Political Philosophy of BumBu(凡父) Kim Jung Seol(金鼎卨) - Kim, Seog-Gun This paper focuses on the political philosophy of BumBu(凡父) Kim Jung Seol(金鼎卨, 1897-1966). We will review his advocate of ‘State and Nation Building’ Movement and it meaning: the contents and characteristics of that movement, its ideological orientation, and its political implication. Above all, his concern was 'Nation Building’(建國) of Korea after liberation, especially that of actual one beyond institutional and formal nation-building. It includes both ‘state-building’ and ‘nation-building’. The state that he planned was based on 1)a unique view of state of Korean Tranditions, and 2)the nation-state in the contemporary world. Although his ‘State and Nation Building’ Movement had a systemetic concordance, it could be differently interpreted and politically misused under the special social environments. At some times, it could become an idea or an ideology of some political regime. The critics on the first, second Republic of Korea, the positive appraisal of 4․19 and 5․16, his participation to the Association of May Comrades as vice-president, the assertations of 'Korean Democracy' matching the Korean situations indicate such an Ideological Orientation.
