大谷 金錫龜의 理一元的 思惟에서의 善惡論과 敬論

Abstract

Neo-Confucianism during the Song Dynasty was a philosophical system that explored the creation of the universe, the human mind, and discipline relatively deeply while Confucius and Mencius’ Confucianism was an idea that emphasized moral values through humanity, and propriety and music,Daegok Kim Seok-gu whom this thesis looks into went to Nosa Ki Jeong-jin, Honam Neo-Confucianism master. Ki Jeong-jin’s life as a man who achieved great learning but did not seek for a civil servant position and his academic view for overcoming the theoretical debate of Neo-Confucianism prevailed in the former generation attracted many literary men in the Yeongnam and Honam regions. Among those literary men, Kim Seok-gu was revered as one of the top three pupils because of his deep learning. Kim Seok-gu cultivated the learning under his master, communicated with fellow students, and meticulously described various writings, thus later students could succeed and deepen Nosa Studies. Ki Jeong-jin wrote Oepil(猥筆) and Napryangsaui(納凉私議) in his later years with an emphasis on Li(理), and opened those works to the public later for public discussion, which Kim participated in and asked questions about Neo-Confucianism. This thesis deals with Kim Seok-gu’s ‘theory of good and evil’ and ‘theory of Confucius Classics’ based on the thoughts of Unified Li. This study starts from essential understanding of Taegeukdo, goes to the theory of good and evil based on the thoughts of Unified Li, and gets to emphasis on Gyeong(敬) for LiMyeong(理明: to bright Li) and HyangDo(向道: towards the truth) by referring to his Daegokyugo(大谷遺稿) as much as possible. This study goes in such ways because it is thought that Kim attempted to establish the subjective autonomy of human by emphasizing the ‘immutable reality of Li’; in particular, his theories must intend moral goodness and furthermore keep the social rules based on Confucius moral by enhancing the ultimate supervision of Li through Gyeong based discipline.
