The author explains that the political philosophy of "juche", which has become the official autarkic state ideology of the Republic of Korea, is "weltanschauung", a world view that indicates or brings about the penultimate value of the goals of mankind.

From the Paper:

"Etymologically, the German word Weltanschauung is elementary to the German philosophy and epistemology implying a wide world perception. It normally indicates the structure which facilitates individual interpretation of the world and interaction. The adoption of concept of Weltanschauung in cognitive philosophy and generative science indicates the wide worldview or wide world perception of a people that they come across over several millennia. Its application in sphere of the language of the people implies the Weltanschauung of that people in the form of its syntactic structures and untranslatable connotations and their denotations."
