율곡의 마음공부에 관한 연구

Abstract

Studying the mind as a human being has a very important meaning. This is because humans who lack moral practice are not only insufficient humans, but also cannot be a true study. Then, how is it possible to study the human mind? For this, the possibility of human change must be premised. If humans are not given the possibility of intellectual change and behavioral change, the theory of study itself cannot be established. In the Confucian philosophy, humans have a positive belief in the nature of humans that not only are they inherently moral beings but also have a brilliant intelligence. Yulgok also inherits the traditional view of oil prices and recognizes that humans are moral beings. Yulgok saw that mental change is possible even if it is difficult to change the human body. Here, wisely changing foolishness is an intellectual change, and wisely changing a person without virtue means moral change. In this way, Yulgok recognized the possibility of moral and intellectual changes in this way. From this point of view of man, it can be seen that his theory is possible. Then, what is the purpose of studying the mind in Yulgok? The goal pursued in Yulgok's theory is to become a saint. Humans must study with the goal of being a saint, and the standards of that saint were none other than heaven and earth, so human study was in unity with heaven and earth.
