17세기 조선을 바라보는 박세당의 역사인식-인조반정과 일련의 사건을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study examined Park Se-dang's historical consciousness by deepening a consideration on history, which had failed to be perfectly established over the whole of Joseon as well as history in Injo Dynasty of the 17th century. Joseon was formed the stability in royal authority and the prosperity in culture superficially in the relatively short time compared to the Three States and Goryeo, which are the history of previous generation. Especially to reinforce and maintain royal authority, it ever borrowed power of Ming Dynasty in early days. The history was formed while strengthening or weakening a clique politically with getting over the middle phase. The royal authority and the political power in Joseon came to head for a ruin owing to a conflict on legitimacy of royal authority in the times of reaching king Danjong, king Sejo, king Seonjo, Gwanghaegun(Prince Gwanghae), and king Injo. The incomplete royal succession, which was enthroned by coup and anti-politics(反正), led directly to a problem about legitimacy of royal authority and is also a direct opportunity of being weakened sovereign power. Even what this study has its focus on the sequence of events during the period of seizing power in king Injo is because the period of being clearly this problem is the Injo Dynasty. Issues at home and abroad, which come to take place in the period of confusion, are shown to be contrary tendency depending on perspective of looking at history. It grasped the circumstances at home and abroad focusing on the period of seizing power in king Injo when confusion had reached its climax, figured out the historical consciousness of Park Se-dang, who aimed to focus on profit rather than justification and on the present rather than the past with regard to it, and also closely examined the truth of seeking the legitimacy on history of Joseon Dynasty that intellects have in the 17th century.
