The contents of this study were as follows. First, the concept of eros has the character of critically reflecting on the current state. Second, thinking of eros has the character of a work that unites two disconnected objects. Third, in the character of eros thinking, there was a potential for a regression to one s original form as well as a dual and mesophilic meaning. The results of this study were as follows. First, there was an alternative reason for thinking of eros that presents hope for life to modern people suffering and despair in today s society. Second, religion was able to make the future of modern people positive by realizing the values of communication and coexistence only when it was based on the thinking of eros.
