전우의 문인 홍사철의 심설 -곽종석 비판을 중심으로-

Abstract

Hong Sa-cheol was born in Yecheon, but moved to Hoedeok and spent the last years of his life. As a young man, he met Kwak Jong-seok, who had a different academic background, and became aware of differences in opinion about Mind theory. Therefore, he informed Jeon Woo about this, and mediated the two scholar's argument. In favor of his master's view, he criticized Kwak Jong-seok's doctrine, but he had a desire to unify different opinions on the Mind. This paper, which seeks to investigate the research activities of Hong Sa-cheol, includes the following. First, by examining his family and academic background, I will guess why his views was friendly to Yi i, Song Si-yeol, and Jeon Woo. Second, by examining the discussion between Kwak Jong-seok and Jeon Woo, l will summarize the outline of the differences between the two schools. Third, by examining the background of the instructions given by Jeon Woo, who stopped the debate, we can guess the atmosphere in the academic world at the time, which gave more value to sticking to the teacher's doctrine than to free debate. Fourth, by examining the mind theory of Hong Sa-cheol, we can investigate the pattern of succession of Jeon Woo’s theory. Fifth, by critically examining whether he really understood Kwak Jong-seok's theoty, I will draw the limits of the academic debate at that time.
