We as Self
We as Self argues for a notion of we-ness based not on a self-centered or a self-less point of view, in which the “we” is only either a collection of individuals or an anonymous whole, but on “relation.” This relation is pre-subjective, meaning that the conscious, reflective, subjective self is not the conceptual basis of the relation. The irreducible metaphysical distinction between self and other is always there, but the awareness of it is not prior to this relation, which is an ontological pre-condition of self. Hye Young Kim demonstrates that the distinction and unity of self and other in this relation can be comprehended spatially by applying knot logic. The author analyzes certain linguistic practices in Korean to show one representation of pre-subjective we-ness in language, but not in an ethnographical manner. By doing so, the author criticizes and challenges the Eurocentric tendency of philosophy and contributes to efforts to expand diversity in philosophy.

Evening Proposal
"A collection of eight stories about the grim and often faceless nature of urban life. Faintly reminiscent of Franz Kafka, the stories range from that of a man discovering his job performance has no significance while taking refuge in caring for an abandoned rabbit, to a man who finally expresses his love only to discover that his expression frightened him more than his anticipatory fear. Evening Proposal reissues the warning that the systems civilization has created to order nature's chaos are in fact failed projects, deadening the very human beings they are meant to protect."--

Concerning My Daughter

At Dusk
In the evening of his life, a wealthy man begins to wonder if he might have missed the point. Park Minwoo is a success story. Born into poverty in a miserable neighbourhood of Seoul, he has ridden the wave of development in his country. Now the director of a large architectural firm, his hard work and ambition have brought him triumph and satisfaction. But that all begins to change when he receives a message from a childhood friend he once loved. As memories return unbidden, he recalls a world he thought he had left behind — a world he now realises that he has helped to destroy.
Immunological Aspects of Emerging and Re-emerging Zoonoses
Zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from non-human animals to humans. To date, more than 200 known types of zoonoses have been identified, and 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. It is estimated that zoonoses are responsible for 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million human deaths worldwide each year, and 50-60% of the global population (5–6 billion) are projected to be at risk of zoonotic infections. Emerging and re-emerging zoonoses, such as monkeypox, Ebola, SARS, MERS, Zika, Rickettsia, and Mycobacteria, pose an immense and growing threat to global health, economy, and safety. As of September 26, 2022, there have been more than 600 million cases confirmed with COVID-19, and 6,514,397 deaths occurred due to this highly communicable disease. Identification of the immunological aspects of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses may facilitate the diagnosis, vaccine, and therapeutics development of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses.
The Intimate University
The majority of the 30,000-plus undergraduates at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign—including the large population of Korean American students—come from nearby metropolitan Chicago. Among the campus’s largest non-white ethnicities, Korean American students arrive at college hoping to realize the liberal ideals of the modern American university, in which individuals can exit their comfort zones to realize their full potential regardless of race, nation, or religion. However, these ideals are compromised by their experiences of racial segregation and stereotypes, including images of instrumental striving that set Asian Americans apart. In The Intimate University, Nancy Abelman...
