서거정의 명리관命理觀 연구 ― 『오행총괄』서序와 『필원잡기』를 중심으로

Abstract

The fact that both Ohaengchongwal, which is estimated to be the first book on Saju-Myeongri written in Korea, and Pirwonjapgi, which is the first book that contained the term ‘Saju’ in the nation, stemmed from the hands of Seo Geo-jeong turns attention to his views of Myeongri. He used the concept words of neo- Confucianism those days to talk about Myeongri, which indicates that his perceptions of Myeongri remained within the territory of neo-Confucianism, which was the main ideological system of the days. Seo did not deny the fact that fate of irresistible force exists itself regardless of the moral law of cause and effect and discussed Shimbonheoryeong as a closing condition to predict a person's fate. He, however, strongly criticized the conjurers of the mundane world for deceiving people and coveting property by talking about people's fate with loose theories. He emphasized that scholars should take true interest in and study the principles of Sammyeong, which is to figure out one's innate fate through Saju, in order to overcome those problems.
