이상정(李象靖)의 『퇴계서절요(退溪書節要)』 편집 방법과 목적

Abstract

After a certain period of time after the publication of the Toe-Gye Writings, the essence of this was made. These compilations were made by Jeong Hon and Yi Sang-Jung. This paper uses the latter as text and the former as ancillary data, so examines the method and purpose of the phenomena called as the Compilation. As the method, the method of comment, combination, deletion, selection, preservation were used. In addition, it is not just the realization of the simple purpose of gaining the ease of publishing, distributing and learning books. The ultimate goal was to find the final conclusions in the Literary letters written by Yi’ Hwang, that those were supplied learning life models for future generations. It omitted the relative, subjective, and process informations, and instead gives it absoluteness to the arguments expressed in the selected major epistle. This establishes the standard views of Confucianist groups that scholars should accept and practice. These works were done in an atmosphere that respected Yi Hwang, working to further solidify the position of Lee Hwang and his theories.
