Abstract

 

This article takes a journey through the history of the Korean Peninsula through the paths traveled by the main religious traditions present in it. We will analyze the role they have had in the way of understanding social relations and the creation of mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion within Korean society. The interrelationships established between them are a factor that has contributed to the progress of society and that different groups were accepted or rejected throughout history. We study how the thinking of these religious traditions and the way of understanding them has promoted or hindered the processes of inclusion and liberation throughout the different stages of Korean history.
