Huntington saw the clash of the Civilization as the main issue of the international affairs after the Cold War. He viewed the source of the identity construction generally in the hostility between myself and others, in other words the different groups. The different civilizations are based on the different identities. The mechanism of the identity construction can be mostly strong between the hostile civilizations. He means that the hostility between the Islam and the Christianity world is the most strong one in the world. The confucian civilization can be the potential enemy of the christian Western world.
However, I stress that the hostility is not unconditionally the source of the identity. The different identities can be the source of the endless dialectical integration. This point of view can be supported by the theory of Sunglihak. For this purpose I explain the theory of Sunglihak. The Sunglihak is focused on giving answer to this question. The Sunglihak includes Li and Gi theory on the one hand, and Yin and Yang / 5 elements theory on the other hand. According to this Sunglihak theory, the universe and the all the beings of the universe are made up with Li and Gi. Li symbolizes spirit and essence, meanwhile Gi stands for energy and phenomenon. We cannot see Li, meanwhile we can see Gi. Li and Gi are not different things. But they are not the same things. Without Gi, Li cannot exist. Without Li, Gi cannot work. Li and Gi effect mutually each other and ceaselessly. Li controls Gi. Gi realizes and take into practice the intention of Li.
Yin and Yang, and 5 elements. In our real world the role of the Gi as phenomenon and energy is fundamentally important. Gi is made up with Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang symbolizes the different beings. Yin, for example, symbolizes night and woman, meanwhile Yang symbolizes day and man. However, Yin and Yang are not divided obviously. They effect mutually and ceaselessly. They different ones, but at the same time are the same one. They effect each other mutually and ceaselessly. Through this mutual effects they change and are to be constructed in new ways.
I emphasize that the difference of the identity of the civilization does not lead to clash. This is the main point of my critical Review on the Huntington's theory of the clash of the Civilization from the Aspect of the Sunglihak.
