Abstract

Until 1970s, there were only four papers on Ha-gok studies and Yang-ming studies in Joseon dynasty. The research on Yang-ming studies in Korean started to develop from 1970s with the publication of “Works of Ha-gok – Korean translation Ⅰ”(1972) and “Works of Ha-gok – Korean translation Ⅱ”(1973) by Yoon Nam Han. In 1995, the Korean Society of Yang-ming studies was founded and after that the research on Yang-ming studies in Korea was activated. Currently, the discovery, analysis and rearrangement of Yang-ming studies in Joseon dynasty, as well as the reconstruction of Yang-ming studies based on modern viewpoint etc. are being carried out actively, and the results achieved are impressive. In this paper, the authors analyze the achievements and current situation of the international conferences on Gang-hwa school of Yang-ming studies held by the Korean Society of Yang-ming studies which has enormously contributed to the remarkable results from promoting the research on Yang-ming studies in Korea. Through overall analyses andevaluations, the authors clarify which contribution that those international conferences on Gang-hwa school of Yang-ming studies have made towards the research on Korean Yang-ming studies in general and Ha-gok studies (i.e. Gang-hwa school of Yang-ming studies) in particular, what outstanding questions are, and which problems must be dealt with in the future. And after that the authors try to offer some information necessary for the research and work concerned with Korean Yang-ming studies, and suggest some general directions to researchers and administrative agencies who are considering those issues.
