Abstract

This thesis is a result of trying to read Humaneness(人心) stanza・Making a profit(生利) stanza of General theory of Taengniji(總論), General theory of four kinds(四民總論), General theory of taking residence(卜居總論), that writing consciousness of T'aengniji(擇里志) is outstanding, by focusing on keyword, 'sadaebu(士大夫)'. The reading method was tried because they expected to discover the whole organization and logic of T'aengniji, which were not discovered until now. If reading General theory of T'aengniji by keyword of 'sadaebu', Yi Chunghwan(李重煥)'s awareness about Chosŏn sadaebu society and worries about the historic stream can be discovered. He recognized Chosŏn society as sadaebu society due to historicity and speciality of Chosŏn in spite of blood flaw and was proud of the society. However, like Humaneness stanza, he couldn't maintain existing method and pride as a sadaebu because of the intensification of party conflicts and the damages. So, he felt sense of shame and disillusionment and suggested to work in agricultural, industrial, commercial area by getting out of the sadaebu society. He suggested the life so as to report the mischief of party conflicts in the whole Chosŏn. General theory of four kinds and Making a profit stanzas are the texts about economic activities of sadaebu. If reading General theory of four kinds by keyword of sadaebu, true characters which were not discovered until now can be found. General theory of four kinds is logical insist on legitimity of sadaebu's economic activities, not egalitarian society like existing studies. He acquired legitimity of sadaebu's economic activities through the consideration of sadaebu's original stream. The logic verification was necessary to persuade the living method he suggested to sadaebu. Making a profit stanza includes concrete contents of sadaebu's economic activities. Yi Chunghwan shows deep understanding of agricultural and commercial industry, but in the middle of Making a profit stanza, he insisted legitimity of sadaebu's economic activities and clarifies the range of economic activities as the maintainment of sadaebu's legitimity. Economic theory of T'aengniji can be guidance of economic activities written from an angle of sadaebu for sadaebu who must find the place to live. The critical sense Yi Chunghwan wrote T'aengniji was originated from the loss of sadaebu's pride and living method and economic theory, he developed, were established on the goal to maintain identity of sadaebu. In the whole volumes of T'aengniji, keyword of 'sadaebu' is constantly existing. If keyword of T'aengniji as a geographical book is 'liveable place(可居處)', keyword of Yi Chunghwan's writing consciousness is 'sadaebu'.
