호락논변-그 개념놀이와 이념지향

Abstract

Yu The debate between Yi-Gan and Han-Wonjin which also called HoRak-debate was the advancing discourse of seeking the consistence and discourse of remained problems in the Chosun dynasty's Neo-confucianism. Most of debates in the history of Confucianism was not free from the consciousness of orthodoxy. There was still the trace of the lineage of School and political interests in the Ho-Rak debates. The debates had the characteristic of the philosophical argument and was the Neo-Confucian symposium in the period of later Chosun dynasty. Addition to this, they studied hard to gain the superiority in the hermeneutical approaching the interpretations of the Classics over the rival's. They walked from the adoption to the stage of the critical reflection of Chushiism. It means that they played the game of philosophical concept. After the meeting of Hansansa temple, the supporters devided two groups, one located in Hoseo province and the other in Seoul. Scholars in Hoseo gave respect to Kon-Sangha, and scholars in Seoul to Kim-Changhyup. There had been some differences and struggles between Kon and Kim. Two were in the relation of the competition for the successor of Song Siyeol. The affirmations in the Han supported by the Kon-Sangha had the orientation for the discrimination of human and animals, culture and barbarism, Buddhism and Confucianism, moral superman and ordinary man. The group who supported Lee-Gan had the attitude of integral tolerance of the cultural differences and adopted the utilitarianism of Bukhak and open society. Almost philosophical debates remained unsolved. Because there was the dogmatic starting point in the arguments, and if the philosophical goal is different, the logic which support that arguments came to be the instrument, and the result of severe debates in the end, were the pictures like in the gallery of the fools. The debates of Ho-Rak had also such character.
