허유의 심설 토론과 갈등의 양상

Abstract

Heo Yu accepted Yi Jin-sang's study and refined it through discussions with colleagues. This paper, which studied the process of his discussion activities, first examined what he and his colleagues tried to know among the theories of Yi Jin-sang. Looking at what was discussed at the outset, they studied how to recognize the essence of the mind according to the three observation methods(三看法). Depending on their pros and cons, they became either sympathizers or critics. In succession with Choi Jeong-gi who became a critic, Heo Yu discussed the purpose of the middle and bottom diagram included in the Diagram about ‘mind governs nature and feelings’, especially the middle. There was no disagreement in that bottom diagram was a picture drawn by an analytical method. On the other hand, the middle diagram was a narrative explaining the commonalities of good minds and good emotions with different processes of origin. While Choi Jeong-gi saw only the commonality of the fact that good arises from nature, Heo Yu followed Lee Jin-sang and saw the fact that Li creates goodness(理發) as a common point. Their differences of opinion arose in the pros and cons of the new method of recognizing essence. Behind it, there was a different perception of Li domination and the role of Qi.
