Kim Uchang (Korean: 김우창, born 17 December 1937) is a South Korean literary critic and scholar of English literature.[1][2] He is known for his arguments on building a rational society based on “aesthetic rationality” and moving beyond the dichotomy of conservatism and liberalism, modernism and post-modernism, nationalism and globalism, and literature as an ideology to empower the masses and literature as an art free of any political context.[3]
