Abstract

This study is written to examine Jeong In­bo's academic background and perception of Koreanology. The study of Jeong In­bo can be called a fusion of modern scholarship, was influenced by Jang Byeong­rin, on the traditional academic disciplines of late Joseon Dynasty, is represented by Hagokhak. At that time, the flow of the National Studies Movement of Korea, China, and Japan was the same. He was recognized as an authority on Joseon dynasty during the Japanese colonial period. This is because in the process of succession of traditional scholarship, it is the successor of the Hagok School along with the background of the Soron(小論) scholars' family. In 1913, he was directly or indirectly influenced by Jang Byeong­rin's National Studies Movement in Shanghai through Moon Il­pyeong. So during the Japanese colonial period he recognized the importance of the National Studies Movement and explained it as a modern academic system. After that, he presented the theory of Joseon Studies Movement during the Japanese colonial period and after liberation he was involved in the establishment of Gukhak University. The following is the main thrust of the Joseon Studies Movement Jeong In­bo claimed. He saw the situation in the late Joseon period as negative in general, but found a positive side. It is a new academic style that is expressed as ‘Gusijihak(求是之學)’. The core of the ‘Gusijihak’ claimed by Jeong In­bo is ‘Yeoksan(曆算)’. He said that Kim Yuk, Jeong Je­du, Choi Myeong­gil and Hwang Un­dae were well aware of the ‘Yeoksan’, and what they claim is not different. They were different from faction and times were different. However, the reality that they insist is not different. Furthermore, in the late Joseon Dynasty, three kinds of scholarship were handed down as Yangmyeong(陽明), economy(經濟), and management(經世) with ‘Yeoksan’ as common denominator. Also, 'Yeoksan’ are related to astronomy, geography, and mathematics, and they are closely related to science. This view of Jeong In­bo will have a great influence on the researchers of ‘Silhak(實學)’ as a precedent study.
