Abstract

This paper contains a critical study on the Toegye’s theory of simultaneous reaction of li and qi. The matter of Toegye’s theory of simultaneous reaction of li and qi is “The Four Beginnings are the issuance of principle; Seven Feelings are the issuance of material force” in Toegye-Gobong Four-Seven debate. However, it is argued that the simultaneous reaction of li and qi was mentioned from the start of the Yulgok. the simultaneous reaction of li and qi is dualism. so it is necessary to try to critically review for what was expected to Toegye have a dualistic system reasons. In particular, most of the research has claimed that Toegye’s theory of simultaneous reaction of li and qi does not deviate significantly the way the ‘the Versus-Doctrine ㆍ the Causa-Doctrine’ understand how Go-bong who understand the Toegye. This paper therefore whether Toegye themselves ‘the simultaneous reaction of li and qi’ claims, and whether to pursue the ‘dualism’ look first. Above all Toegye thought that expression of human feelings of the good nature is good, it calls ‘the Principle issues and the Material Forces follow’. but evil feelings are seen as illusion in the grounds and not in the concept that exists in reality, it calls ‘the Material Forces issues and the Principle mounts.’ Toegye want to say through the four-seven debate ‘the feelings that sprouted from good nature is essential of our mind’, and the correct understanding of the feelings is pleasure of study.
