근대계몽기 석정 이정직의 문학사상

Abstract

This paper tried to express the idea of the literature itself he looked at, not the analysis evaluation of particular literary works by Seokjeong Yi, Jeong jik. Because even though a considerable number of the papers on Seokjeong's poems were published, there was no comprehensive consideration of his literary ideas. In short, literary thought of Seokjeong is learning good old writings, praise and criticism, and to leave his thoughts in a sentence. As an intellectual and educator in the latter era of the Joseon Dynasty, he participated in the world by expressing his ideas through literature. The foundation of the literary thought is the widespread reading, the lecture, and the willingness to leave ideas in writing. He regarded literature as a wide range, including politics, without limiting it to flashy rhetoric. His sentence was based on go-mun(古文) and pursued what was right, and with the basis of learning good old writing in yuk-gyung(六經), he took the position that writing and duty should coincide(文道一致). The reason for his literary career was that he needed to know what he was supposed to do at that time as a scholar and that he could find a way to cope with the reality of the world through writing. Many of the books written by Seokjeong discuss and explain how to govern the world. He lectured with his disciples on literature and praised and criticized the historical issues of Chinese classics. By explaining the praise and criticism logically, he wanted to set an example of how to govern the world in future generations. This is his will to make the world right through sentences. He wanted to embody the spirit of Confucius' chunchu-daeui(春秋大意) into the times, not the Neo-Confucianism ideology. He lived with woowhan-uisik(憂患意識) as an intellectual who lived through a turbulent period of chaos, leaving it written. Thus, this paper systematized Seokjeong's literary thought into the recognition that writing and duty should coincide with learning good old writing, the duty of the times and praise and criticism of governance, and literature and writing as a model for posterity. He also linked learning old writings in the discussion of sentences to the Pyeongdam Theory(平淡論) in the discussion of poetry, thought that sentences encompassed dohak(道學) and politics, and discussed the connection between writing and the meaning of 古 in the Confucian classics.
