Abstract

This paper studies on the significance of Kim Chang Hyup(金昌協)’s theory of four beginnings and seven feelings. In the history of Chosun(朝鮮) Neo- Confuciansim, Kim Chang Hyup, particularly, has received attention in two respects, his compromising thought between Toegye’s theory and Yulgok’s theory and his historical status as the first teacher of Nak-Hak(洛學). The understanding that Kim Chang Hyup claimed compromising thought between Toegye and Yulgok is mainly based on his theory of four beginnings and seven feelings. This paper, however, analyzes his theory of four beginnings and seven feelings by focusing on the fact that it claims important theoretical issues in thought of Yulgok School. Specifically, the theory of Kim Chang Hyup is analyzed through three problems. they are, first, ‘the distinction between ‘material force of mind(心氣)’ and ‘materical force of body(形氣)’’, second, ‘clean and dirty(淸濁) material force as the factor deciding whether to be good or evil’, and third, ‘fixed material force and fluid material force’. As a result, we could find that Kim Chang Hyup’s theory of four beginnings and seven feelings had a great impact on the whole of Yulgok School.
