영남학파의 소학 중시가 가진 철학적 특징과 교육적 함의

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the philosophical characteristic that Yeongnam School different from Zhuxi’s Philosophy involves, focused on the perception for Sohak. Sohak in the system of Zhuxi’s Philosophy is mainly defined in the study stage degree before Daehak which is stage ‘investigating thoroughly principle’, as for the necessity of ‘Knowledge of Learning(Domoonhak)’. Moreover, object of study is limited in ‘children’, a core of the content is ‘to get well enough to behave like habit, becoming proficient directly by the body patterns of behavior in the separate situation’. Specially, There isn’t involved ‘principle’ study, why should do such a behavior. Thus, Sohak was merely study as the course which should be made a transition to Daehak. However, in the Joseon dynasty, specially Sohak was emphasized by Sarim faction that succeeds Jeong Mong-ju and Giljae, followers of Sarim faction control the academia and the political world of Joseon dynasty, so that Sohak became book which emphasizes their the world of spirit and value. Sohak, for Yeongnam scholars that succeed Yi-Hwang and his scholastic vein, became book which rises to the grade of The Four Books. By believing thought enough to become saint through Sohak, it was accepted as independent scripture, through it, Sohak become the first ‘an important scripture’ which has to study when enters Zhuxi’s Philosophy. Yi Hwang doesn’t limits simply Sohak only in the domain of ‘Knowledge of Learning’, but shows theoretical distinction from Zhuxi`s Philosophy by interpreting Sohak as ‘main point of study of mind’ which completes ‘Gyeong敬’. For education of Zhuxi’s Philosophy, these characteristics emphasize basics, and come out look which puts finality of study on ‘practice’. These scientific characteristics entrench as an important character of Yeongnam School which makes Toegye’s Philosophy their motto. Specially, Yeongnam School prides on strong action that bases on philosophical characteristic of it, starting from philosophical characteristic which emphasizes ‘mind’, these is only characteristic of Yeongnam School which has something to do with characteristic of ‘Sohak education’.
