The Juche idea takes a different starting point from previous philosophies. It maintains that the fundamental question of philosophy concerns man’s position and role in the world, and it argues that “man is the master of everything and decides everything.” That “man is the master of everything” refers to the position which man takes in the world. He makes the world serve him according to his will and isn’t subject to that which surrounds him. That “man decides everything” means that he is a being who is responsible for his destiny and shapes it accordingly.
