박세당(朴世堂)의 『논어사변록(論語思辨錄)』을 통해 본 독자적 경전 주해- 『논어집주(論語集註)』와의 비교를 중심으로 -

Abstract

A variorum edition of analects was selected as book that was learned by confucian. This edition achieved the unique position of the analects interpretation comment in the Song dynasty and was spread of confucian in the Joseon dynasty. Because many scholars in the Joseon dynasty understood analects from Zhu-xi’s reason based on his variorum edition of analects, many studies of confucianism only tended to his reason. Nonetheless, Park Se-dang was not bound by Zhu-xi’s reasoning and freely claimed and wrote his opinion. It can be seen that the Park Se-dang is seen through a different aspect from the interpretation of the 『集註』, which escapes from the prevailing academic atmosphere. The commentary of Park Se-dang is aiming to be empirical and reasonable from the existing four-letter commentary (or commentary). It is meaningful that there was an attempt to view and understand the 经傳 from various angles through this academic attitude. His scholarship has maintained an open and independent attitude in a rational and empirical manner, deviating from the academic approach of the time when he was only pursuing speculative or ideal ideals. This point can be said to be a pioneer in various kinds of scholarship that was uniformly shaped such as a new scholarly pattern appearing afterwards, Confucianism claiming various theories.
