Abstract

There are some scholars in the history of Korea Confucianism, which is named as 'Toegye-Yulgok Eclecticism'. The leading figure is Seong Hon(1535-1598), and his successors are Pak Se-chae(1631-1695), Cho Seong-ki(1638-1689), Im Yeong(1649-1696). They had inherited Yi Whang's academic position than Yi yi's, these two are incompatible. Yi Whang connects the moral characteristic which is pure surpasses an individual bodily desire to the principle(li) and the bodily desire which keeps a malice dangerous characteristic to the disposition(qi) it connects. The type of like this theory of good human nature is the premise that 'the true human nature is the principle(Xing Ji Li)' based on dualism. On the other hand, Yi yi transformed dualistic theory of human nature into the monistic theory. Thus, he regarded the principle(li) as the common source of moral characteristic as well as of the bodily desire. The type of like this theory of good human nature is the premise that 'the true human nature is the principle(Xing Ji Li)' based on monism. On the surface, Seong Hon and his successors are expressed the position of 'Toegye-Yulgok Eclecticism', but fundamentally supports Yi Whang's dualism that adheres to the distinction between churi(主理) and chugi(主氣). Therefore they adhere to their own academic positon in Kiho school. The 17th century, Kiho school and Yeungnam school in the context of the confrontation, they were a critical role in Kiho school.
