Purpose: To reflect on the current state of our community and the way forward, centered on the theme of "care" as an alternative to "love" and the limitations that family communities based on love face today.
This conference examines the meaning that has been given to the most basic group or community in society in the history of Western philosophy, and reveals that love, which has functioned as a code for such a basic community since Romanticism and Hegel, and the family as a system of whole-person communication based on love, can no longer function as a basic community today, neither practically nor normatively. He proposes 'care' as a code or function for the formation of a basic community after love, and argues that in order for care to become a code for the formation of numerous social systems, it is necessary to enlighten human dependence and form a community for the self-reference of care.
