The purpose of this study is to examine and discuss the concepts and the relation between Imago Dei and reality of human being. So this paper is intended for an investigation of the impotent issues of the relation between Imago Dei and reality of I-Existence, especially in the center of the language philosophy of F. Ebner and the psychology of C. G. Jung and the existence philosophy of M. Heidegger.
The first chapter presents the Introduction to the general Understanding of the Imago Dei.
The second chapter discusses the method for the reality of human mind described by the psychology of C. G. Jung, who especially deals with the dimension of not only consciousness but also unconsciousness. The dimension of unconsciousness can be the way to the Imago Dei in human mind, that is lost after the fall of sin. At the same time the concept 'human mind' of Jung is concerned with the concept of 'das Du' of Ebner, who tries to find the transcendent category for the pneumatic-personal relation between God and human mind.
The existence philosophy of Heidegger that especially as the main starting points deals with the relation between 'das Sein' and 'das Nichts', is also not unconcerned with the problem of the reality of human mind. In this article, I would like to find the key point and try to relate this ideal of philosophies and psychology.
Finally, this study focuses on the main Theme : the comparative relation-analysis between Imago Dei and the I-reality of human. The Imago Dei in man has a possibility, to be identified with the reality 'das Du' of Ebner and with the 'das Selbst' of Jung and also with the 'das Nichts' of Heidegger.
In fact, little is known about the main point of the Imago Dei in the history of theology, and so it has been recognized by theologian that the Imago Dei is related directly with the part of the soul of man, but not in detail.
Recently several studies have been made on the problem of the Imago Dei, but not enough. Therefore I assume that the current explanation about the Imago Dei needs to be more closely examined and investigated in detail so the connection with various sciences and various specialized knowledges is conducted in this article.
