新儒學의 大同思想과 仁의 공동체

Abstract

This literature is a study on the conception of Datong(Great Unity) World presented as Utopia by Confucianists and Datong(Great Unity) theory of Yangmingxue, focusing on the era of Neo-Confucianism which is represented by both Zhuzixue(朱子學) and Yangmingxue(陽明學) after 10th century, out of long-standing history of the Confucianism. Besides that, it also analyzes Datong(Great Unity) theory of Tan Sitong, an intellectual of the Qing dynasty. Out of Neo-Confucianism, Yangmingxue in particular accepted Rén(仁), core idea of Confucius in ancient Pre-Qin Confucianism(先秦儒家) as main ideology of Datong World, and deployed the concept of "Rén(仁)’s Community". And the main framework and premise of this literature is that『Renxue』 of Tan Sitong was deploying the conception of New Rén(仁)’s Community as an extension of various several academies including Pre-Qin Confucianism and Yangmingxue. Especially, from the standpoint of Yangmingxue, this is none other than the conception of the community of Rén in Everything-as-one. The concept of Rén in Everything-as-one was also an ideological criterion which the realization of Datong(Great Unity) Society relies on. Therefore, the purpose of this literature was to study the theoretical aspects of the conception of Datong World which Eastern Asian Neo-Confucianism had been pursuing, and to investigate the social order system and the conception of Community, using the concept of Rén(仁) as a medium. To be concrete, the main part of this literature deals with the study on the theory of Utopia, the sense of social integration, and the community of Rén in Everything-as-one which are part of Yangmingxue. Subsequently as the second main part, it deals with the investigation on Tan Sitong's Rén(仁)’s Community, and Datong(Great Unity) theory in the extension of Yangmingistic way of thinking. Especially, this literature looks into the sense of social integration based on Tan Sitong’s Datong(Great Unity) theory, Rén(仁)’s Community, and Equality, using Tan Sitong's masterpiece, 『Renxue』 as a reference.
