Abstract

Toegye is a deep thinker who practiced the “Respect(敬)” by “Training himself(修己), and an educator who pursued the realization of his true self. Toegye worked hard on the education of his descendants along with the education of his students, which can be seen from almost a thousand letters he left. Toegye's letter to his son and grandson Ando is being studied as a wonderful subject of home education. Since the era of the time was when community consciousness was taken for granted rather than the meaning of the individual, education was different from modern times. However, amid the excessive personalization and individuality of the modern people, Toegye's education on the relationship and the recovery of human nature that the community has pursued needs to be looked back. Toegye's letter became a central point of teaching vertical community life linking the past, present and future and horizontal community life, which encompasses oneself, family and others in the present. Toegye, along with his son Jun, is an exemplary example of the true meaning of the field as a person who studies together, not just as a child care and parenting. It is generally recognized that home education is most meaningful from infancy to school age. In this study, we extracted from the letters Toegye sent to his son Jun, a short history of his grandson Ando being born and married until the age of 15, and examined the Toegye's education on his grandson. This period corresponds to the period of 41 to 55 years of Toegye and his grandson from 1 to 15 years. Toegye's education on his grandson was based on the cooperative relationship of grandparents, parents and children, and Toegye's timely education on his grandson has significant implications for education for infants and children.
