왕양명(王陽明)의 정체성 찾기와 제사(濟事)의 유학 정립

Abstract

This paper covers the process of Wang Yang-ming wandering 20 years, and then getting out of 五溺(five weaknesses) and going abroad to study Confucianism. At this time, the mainstream Confucianism disturb rather than faithfully and successfully guide through Confucianism. Wang Yang-ming thought that mainstream Confucianism could not save the original spirit of confucianism. Eventually, Wang Yang-ming establishes the new identity of Confucianism and enters into Confucianism and summarizes his long journey of wandering. In this article, we will look at the limitations of mainstream Confucianism at the time that Wang Yang-ming found out and try to track the process of establishing the identity of confucianism from the viewpoint of the new Realist School’s point. Wang Yang-ming tried to make it clear the relation of zhixing 知行(real knowledge and acting) that knowing thing does not end with knowing thing and can/must lead to practice. Through this, the scholar-gentry class 士大夫 can solve the problem of reality and achieve the ideal community that is said in confucianism. If all peoples are suffering from a misery and does not know that it is, and does not reach out to salvation, scholarship and thought will abandon its role. Wang Yang-ming felt this pain more sensitive than anyone else, so he set up the extension of innate knowledge 致良知 of empathy and salvation.
