문학을 바라보는 순암 안정복의 시선 -시선의 의미와 성호와의 거리를 중심으로-

Abstract

Although Sungam An Jeong-bok is one of the scholars who represent the late Joseon dynasty, the research on his literary world is still quite insufficient. This phenomenon is because Sunam was not a literary person who focused on literature, and it is also because he did not specifically disclose his literary world. However, if you look at the writings by Sunam, you can see the data that can show his view of the literary. Looking at the writings by Sunam, it can be seen that he pursued literature that emphasized contents rather than form, based on the Six Scriptures of Saints, the thought of the literary of Confucianism. In addition, I think that he has divided awareness into: purpose, method, meaning and value of poetry and sentence in that he was distinguishing the study subject from the contents of poetry and writings. Sunam modeled after the writings in the Six Scriptures of Saints when he wrote, emphasizing the use of ‘wide reading’ and ‘deliberation’ to build such poetry and writings. To Sunam, who thought of the creative ability of poetry and writings as a trained function, ‘wide reading’ was a way for ‘deliberation’, and in turn ‘deliberation’ was a way for learning how to create poetry and sentence based on the Six Scriptures of Saints. Seongho thought that poetry had a direct relationship with the edification of the world, and saw the true poetry as very close to the reality or sincerity of the object. Therefore, Seongho saw the influence of poetry to the edification of the world more seriously than Sunam, and he showed considerable attention to the creation of poetry accordingly. Seongho presented a more concrete creative method than Sunam, and he was strict about the criteria for evaluating poetry and the requirements for poetry. The distance between Seongho’s and Sunam's views of literature, especially poetry, is thought to be due to the difference in perception of the impact of poetry on society and readers of the time.
