Juche Philosophy is “Superb Philosophy”
It was September 17, Juche 61(1972), when President Kim Il Sung granted an interview with the press from Japanese Mainichi Shimbun.
Seated on a humble chair by a small side table, he gave a logical and persuasive explanation of the circumstances of origination of the Juche idea to the correspondents, who were eagerly waiting for it.
The President delineated the position and role of man in the world, and clarified the philosophical foundation of the Juche idea and the new philosophical principle that man is the master of everything and decides everything, and nothing in the world is more precious and stronger than man.
Although they themselves were well-versed in “Materialism and Empirical Criticism” by Lenin and “On Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism” by Stalin, as well as “Anti Duhring”, “Natural Dialectic” and “Feuerbach and the End of German Classical Philosophy”, they were so fascinated by the profound principle of Juche philosophy which constitutes the supreme essentials of the history of human philosophy that they were unaware of themselves clapping their hands with cheers.
That was because Juche philosophy centred on man is a completely new one that denies no classics and copies nothing from them.
That is why no sooner had the answers by the President that day to the questions from Mainichi Shimbun “On Some Problems of Our Party’s Juche Idea and the Government of the Republic’s Internal and External Policies” been carried on the publications than it created a great sensation throughout the world.
An Indian follower of the Juche idea expressed his view as follows:
“President Kim Il Sung, by originating the Juche philosophy, corroborated that there is no limit to the human thinking and inquiry. There is no genius comparable to the President in the world in terms of the boundless faculties of thinking and inquiry. In general, academic studies, whichever it may be, cannot exist without thinking and inquiry. Among them, philosophy is the supreme study of high-level thinking and moreover, the Juche philosophy is philosophical philosophy, a real great philosophy. Juche philosophy is great, its originator is great and his wisdom which ensures such clear-cut enunciation is yet great. It is the superb one that deserves to be praised sky-high. The President, who has illuminated the way ahead of mankind with the sunlight of Juche, is indeed a great human sun. He is the only one to be admired as the sun in the world.”
This was none other than the unbounded sincere admiration of humans.
