Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of Cynn, Hugh Hueng-wo’s The Rebirth of Korea (1920) and J.E.Fisher’s Democracy and Education in Korea (1928), and examines the relations between democracy, Korean nationalism, and Christianity posited by both authors. After the March First Movement, in TheRebirth of Korea, Cynn argued for the realization of democracy through education, aiming for the triumphof Korean nationalism. On the other hand, while Fisher criticized the colonial government’s educationalpolicies, he also criticized the undemocratic aspects of mission education. He advocated for theimportance of “child-centeredness” and “Korean-centeredness, ” which should not be influenced bypolitical or religious purposes. Although their assertions reserved the right to gain Korean politicalindependence, if we focus on the point that Cynn highlighted the transformation of the authoritarianfamily system as a part of the democratic agenda and Fisher’s emphasis on seeking open discussions aboutideologies, such as socialism, their advocacy aimed at acquiring independence capable of sustainingdemocracy as anticipating the broader complexities beyond mere political independence.
