박종홍과 동⋅서양철학 − 열암 박종홍의 <철학하는 것>과 동⋅서양 철학 −

Abstract

This article aims to examine the reality perception and attitude toward Eastern and Western philosophy of Park Jong-hong, the first generation of Korean philosophers. To this end, I will first discuss Jonghong's perception of reality and “doing philosophy”, which are the basis for the fusion of Eastern and Western philosophy, and then discuss his attitude toward Eastern and Western philosophy. Through Park Jonghong's philosophical thought, we can understand how Western philosophy was received by Japanese intellectuals during the Japanese occupation and how Park Jonghong overcame it. The acceptance of Western knowledge, which began with the crisis of exile, made intellectuals aware of a different world, and the overcoming of Western knowledge, based on this, gave them the opportunity to change themselves and establish their identity.
