理性과 感性의 관계로 본 朝鮮後期 文學論 -칸트와 헤겔의 美學 談論과 상관하여

Abstract

The aim of this study is to confirm the interface between theSeong-jeong-ron in the late Joseon Dynast, Choi, Han-ki(崔漢綺)'sargument about <Sudeukbaryongyuwonwi(收得發用有源委)> and theGermany aesthetic discourse represented by Kant and Hegel in terms ofnature work between emotion and reason. The Cheon-ki-ron(天機論) in the late Joseon Dynasty drew theSeong-jeong-ron(性情論) into its magnetic field and expanded itsdetonation. Kim, Chang-hyeop presented ‘Insimjijeong’ in Cheon-ki-ron, butnot discarded ‘Seongjeongjijeong’ element completely. On the contrary, Kim,Chang-heup argued that ‘Insimjimyo’ could be a part of ‘Cheonki’ andperceived a human's existence as a natural being having life and vitalityfrom a performer of the moral nature and obligation. Thus, it's evident thatCheon-ki-ron, which positively acknowledged a human's emotion, found away out for the literary theory in the late Joseon Dynasty. However, it's hard to judge the Cheon-ki-ron was equipped with thelogical system that could be served as emotion-centric theoretical criteria ina literary theory. In addition, the failure to disregard the reason, which was regarded asimportant in the literary theory of the previous generations, could not butremain as an unsettled problem. Modern Germany's aesthetics is defined as “Science of EmotionalCognition”, but it also carried the same agony. They embraced the reasonin the realm of emotion-aesthetics, and aimed for nature work or unitybetween emotion and reason. The fact even Wongwengdo who pursued notonly Zhūzǐ's ‘Seongjeongjijeong’, which was the cause of moral suppression,but also pure nature, pursued the legitimate natural law suggests theidentical path with modern Germany's aesthetics from the perspective ofnot disregarding reason. It was Choi, Han-ki's <Sudeukbaryongyuwonwi> who solved the questionof emotion and reason logically, which Cheon-ki-ron failed to solve. Choi,Han-ki logically interpreted the stage of drawing forth reason from emotionwith interest in sense. In addition, Choi set up spirit & energy as a mechanism linking emotionto reason. Spirit & Energy plays a role similar to Kant's ‘supersensible basicbody’(das übersinnlich Substrat)as well. Further, the fact that therationality of spirit & energy was found from compathy has something todo with even Bisco's ‘common sense’ or Kant's ‘aesthetic common sense.’
