河西 성리학의 철학사적 고찰 -한국유학사에서 知覺論의 태동과 하서의 역할-

Abstract

Ha-seo (河西) Kim In-hoo (金麟厚: 1510~1560) criticized Seo Kyǒng-dǒk's intuitionism; Yi Hang's theory of oneness of li (理) and chi (氣); Luo Qinshun's theory of moral mind and human mind. He also criticized Yi Hwang's theory of four beginnings and seven emotions influenced by ontological dualism. In contrast to Yi Hwang, he thought that four beginnings and seven emotions took form by the one course in which nature (性) became real feeling (情) through the co-issuance and unity of li and chi. He also thought that the determining factor of good and evil was whether or not the consequence of emotional activity was in harmony with the environment and object. His view showed an epistemological perspective that differed from the ontological doctrines of those days. After Kim In-hoo's view was transmitted to Ki Dae-seung, Ki was able to stimulate Yi Hwang to fomulate the new epistemological theory that emphasizes a priori character of li. In this paper, I'd like to argue that Kim In-hoo played a role of catalyst in the era of theoretical formation of Korean Neo-Confucianism where the two opposed positions took shape as the epistemological theory.
