The Gujoron Institute

The Gujoron Institute is an educational institution that develops a movement around Kim Dong-ryul's structuralism, and a civic association pursuing social action based on his thought.

We restrict access by anti-intellectual groups, fools, and people with mental illness. We do not permit registration, visits, or reading by the far right, the far left, religious fanatics, nationalist pseudo-history enthusiasts, or people taken in by conspiracy theories, psychic powers, sorcery, ghosts, UFOs, aliens, mystical fourth dimensions, perpetual motion, and other supernatural fantasies.

Gujoron is a monist approach that sees the world through the structures, relationships, and mechanisms of events. It advocates rationalism, absolutism, universalism, progressivism, and intellectualism. It rejects and opposes attitudes hostile to intellect, society, civilization, philosophy, and culture.
