衛正斥邪派의 反帝論理와 義兵抗戰을 둘러싼 環境의 再檢討

Abstract

Experiencing severe change of contemporary history, many people are rethinking about lost traditional values and thoughts. Especially Korean scholars in the field of the humanities have been fundamentally questioning about the character of modernity based on introspection that we chased "modernity" without thorough self-understanding Therefore some scholars insist that the proper characteristic of Oriental culture should be looked for in pre-modern Oriental culture, so-called Confucian culture and we can describe the Confucian culture as a humane culture corresponding to Western scientific culture. Many Korean scholars think that our choice is to merge the scientific civilization in the boundary of humane culture. Hence the Ideology of "Defending Orthodoxy and Rejecting Heterodoxy" has the characteristics which is traditional and early modern because it posts in the end of thought history of Neo-Confucianism of Joseon Dynasty and warns modern people's greed for material things. So, I hope that the Ideology of "Defending Orthodoxy and Rejecting Heterodoxy" could be reviewed for new paradigm of new century.
