A Study on a Social Problem-Solving Model for Liberal Arts Education Based on Ricoeur’s Triple Mimesis: Focusing on the Social Problem–Solving Curriculum at S University

This article is a study on a liberal arts education model based on Polykor’s Triple Mimesis theory, which can assume that learners are the core subjects of solution proposals for solving social problems. The key points for each step can be summarized as follows. In Mimesis 1, it is necessary to constantly inform students that the purpose of behavior analysis is not to judge moral values. Based on Ricoeur’s good understanding of Mimesis 1, training should be conducted to systematically approach behavioral structures such as actors, behavioral motives, social norms, and symbolic systems. When Mimesis 2 is replaced with reading, students should be able to recognize the text as an object of reconstruction rather than an object of interpretation. In Mimesis 3, it is necessary to teach through strategic self-introduction writing lectures that writing a ‘strategic self-introduction letter’ is an interpretive space that appropriates selfunderstanding formed through narrative reconstruction into real time. It is necessary to clearly recognize the direction of the liberal arts subject so that moral conclusions are not reached in a compulsory way.
