송사 기우만의 심학(心學)과 부정척사(扶正斥邪)

Abstract

This thesis attempted to clarify Ki Woo-Man[奇宇萬]’s theory of Neo- Confucianism and the characteristics of his theory that lead to the practice movement. He was the grandson of Ki Jeong-jin[奇正鎭] and played a central role in No-Sa’s School[蘆沙學派] after Ki Jeong-jin's death. After serving as the captain of Honama’s resistance against Japan in 1896, he served as a spiritual support for Honam’s Neo-Confucianist. However, he did not respond much in Ki-Ho scholar’s academic debate between 1902 and 1903, centered on a Ki Jeong-jin's writing. Furthermore, it is difficult to find a special Sungri theory in his writings. In addition, after his active initial righteous resistance against Japan, he did not show a clear practical aspect of practice. So, the researchers evaluate that his Neo-Confucianism was stagnant only in Ki Jeong-jin's theory, and after the initial righteous resistance activities, the writing activities were evaluated only in the literary aspect. Nevertheless, it is possible to confirm the academic characteristics that appear in collection of his works[松沙先生文集]. It is the emergence of the term “Sim-Hak[心學]” that did not appear in the works of labor and management, and “Bu-Jeong-Cheok-Sa[扶正斥邪]” that is revealed in the thought of Confucian resistance[衛正斥邪]. Focusing on these, this thesis revealed that his Neo-Confucianism had subtle features different from that of No-Sa[蘆沙], and he developed his theory into practical practice. Through this theses, existing evaluations of it should raise the need for reconsideration that his theory on Neo-Confucianism were limited to No-Sa’s theory and his practice movement remained in his initial righteous resistance against Japan.
