In this blog post, we explore whether science is simply a process of accumulating knowledge or a continuous process of innovation through paradigm shifts.   Science was often understood as a process of simply accumulating facts. However, Thomas Kuhn went beyond this traditional view and presented an important perspective that science is not simply the discovery of truth, but rather the...

In this blog post, I will philosophically explore what the finiteness of time means to our lives, even in the midst of the temptation of eternal life, and where true happiness comes from.   Ancient humans were desperate to achieve eternal life, to the extent of defining and worshipping those who would never die as gods.

Many people believe that we need to distinguish between science and non-science, so we need to delve into the nature of science to clarify the boundary between the two. So...

In this blog post, we will look at whether the Japanese colonial period contributed to the development of Korea or whether it only left a deep scar from various perspectives.   From the 19th to the 20th century, several European powers, the United States, and Japan expanded their empires by colonizing other countries. These powers pursued their own interests through colonial rule, and during...

In this blog post, we will look at the debate surrounding the abolition of the statute of limitations and consider what the advancement of forensic science means for the realization of justice.   What is the statute of limitations and its institutional significance? The statute of limitations is a system in which the right to punish a crime ceases after a certain period of time has passed...
