동아시아학술원 20년 철학방면 연구성과 ― 유학과 경학 방면 연구를 중심으로

Abstract

Three representative research institutes of the Academy of East Asian Studies are Daedong Institute for Korean Studies, Institute of Confucian Philosophy and Cultures, and Humanities Korea Project Institute. Their philosophy research was mainly conducted through writing (publication of books, translated works, and photocopy editions) by these three and has been expanded its scope through academic conferences and establishing database. Since its opening of the Academy, the Institute of Confucian Philosophy and Cultures has published Confucian Culture Translation Series and Confucian Culture Research Series to address the issue of the modernization of Confucianism. Also, academic conferences held since the 2000s focused on the modernization of the Confucian studies (Confucian Classics). In contrast, the research by the Humanities Korea Project Institute has been focused on East Asian classical philosophy based on Korean Confucianism, and only recently has the foundation of East Asian solidarity been established. In addition, the publication of Classic Photocopy Series by the Daedong Institute for Korean Studies laid the foundation for the study of Joseon Confucian classic, which has become a very important academic asset, both at home and abroad. On the other hand, in terms of database establishment, the Institute of Confucian Philosophy and Culture's 유경정본화사업 Project, the HK's Korean Confucian Classics Data System, and the Terminology Data System of Zhu Xi's Learning can be discussed. These three sites are good examples of the establishing database on Korean Confucianism, especially Korean Confucian Classics. This is indispensable database for future research on Korean classical philosophy. The Academy aims to deepen research awareness and expand its database archiving based on the achievements in classical philosophy over the past two decades. In this process, we will maintain a critical view of East Asian classical philosophy research so far and endeavor to identify problems. Based on this, we will ultimately seek out a self-sustaining academic discourse that is recognized in East Asia of globally.
