栗谷의 『聖學輯要』에 나타난 家교육의 位相

Abstract

In the traditional society, education for family(家, Ga) is basic and core even in education. Home is the ground of education and living place for family members to experience for the first time. In the case of the west, they discuss the importance of education for family setting up basic ground of education such as family education-school education-social education. In the case of Confucius, education shows the place of education as superimposed scenes through the system of the learning for children(小學, So Hak) - the great learning(大學, Dae Hak). This paper reviews the status, contents, and practice style through the meaning of education for family appearing in the Essentials of the Studies of the sage(聖學輯要, Seong Hak Jibyo) by Yulgok, and shows what implication could give in modern society. In the Essentials of the Studies of the sage, the core matters which should actually do in family placing chapter three - righteous family(正家,Jeongga) followed by chapter two - cultivating oneself (修己, Sugi) clearly appears. Then, chapter four - governing(爲政, Wejeong) is followed. This is located at the stage of regulating others internally on cultivating oneself and regulating others(修己治人, Sugichiin) as the core of curriculum in confucius. To sum up, education for family of Yulgok is a sacred plan to link governing(爲政, Wejeong) through a full balance of cultivating oneself(修己, Sugi). If we schematize cultivating oneself → righteous family → governing as the meaning of modern, we could understand the status of education for family Yulgok advocates. In the final analysis, education for family is community education for the first time actually adapting self-cultivation, practice place of community life, and attempting recovering oneself of living.
