大谷 金錫龜의 性理說 硏究

Abstract

This article examines a neo-confucian theory of Kim seok-ku (金錫龜, pen name : Daegok大谷), who was a pupil of great neo- confucian scholar of late Cho-sun period, Ki jeong-jin(奇正鎭, pen name : Nosa蘆沙). The Nosa school(蘆沙學派), comprised of neo- confucian scholars who followed Ki jeong-jin’s thoughts on neo- confucianism mainly lived inHo-nam(湖南)and western Yong-nam (嶺南) regions, had numerous debates about neo-confucian topics, such as li and chi(理氣), mind and nature(心性), knowledge and action(知行), government and seclusion(出處), with their mentor Ki jeong-jin. Furthermore, thanks to these debates, they could deepen their understandings on neo-confucianism and develop particular neo-confucian theories. So far, much works has been done on topics of Ki Jeong- jin’s neo-confuciantheories,but little hasbeen done on the Nosa school, inthe face of growing works on the contemporary other neo-confucian schools such as the Hwaseo school(華西學派), and theHanjuSchool(寒洲學派).In the present paper, we shall see how Kim seok-ku, evaluated as a Ki jeong-jin’s orthodox successor, succeeded and reinforced the superintendency of li in his neo- confucian theory. Especially, the virtue and vice problem under li monistic structure will be a focal point of this article.
