『논어』를 통해 본 유학의 창의성

Abstract

We need creative talent not only in science but also in economics, technology, art, politics and so on. The humanities is no exception. Confucian education research also highlights the need to develop and utilize ways to cultivate creative talent, and emphasizes education that combines creativity and human nature. However, our society's perception of confucianism's creativity is skeptical. In the extreme sense, it is easy to hear the remarks that Confucianism, Confucian idea, and Confucian education have blocked progress of our society and led to the eradication of creativity. In this paper, the tendency to view 'separation from confucianism' as progress is a different form of decline. So I look for the possibility that Confucianism and creativity can be linked without interfering. It also reveals that the positive action between confucianism and creativity is an opportunity for progress that leads to more desirable human relationships and social behaviors, leading to social development and harmony. I don't want to say that the scriptures of Confucianism are the sum of truth that can explain and solve everything in life. And I don't want to say that Confucianism can not have creativity and contact in its native way due to the New Wisdom, a traditional way of seeking knowledge[wēngùzhīxīn(溫故知新)]. However, in order to compromise or compromise an important statement held by one another, there must be a sense of principle proposition and engagement that both sides recognize. Therefore, in this paper, I propose the proposition that both sides must acknowledge together, that 'all creativity and creativity are discovered and realized in a relationship' and a new 'sensation of forming a relationship.' This reveals the possibility of a coexistence between Confucianism and Creativity. To carry out these studies, an interpretation will be attempted, mainly based on examples from The Analects and references related literature. As a result, the paper reveals that Confucianism is not a history of repetition but a history of struggle for individuality, which showed excellence in the development of moral creativity.
