Politics of Fear: An Integrative Paradigm of Fear Management/Education

Abstract

Utilizing the core findings of Jinmin Lee, a Korean political philosopher, this article searches for what constitutes the unique “integrative” paradigm for studying fear and fear management/education—especially, via the study of Lee of discourses (East-West) across time and cultures. The “politics of fear” is a crucial way to analyze the dynamics of every day fear in people’s lives and the discourses they may depend on that come from history. All findings point toward making the best approach one of integrating multiple voices, ideas, discourses and strategies—as the intersection of fear with political community is examined and used as teaching for individual and social practices.
