하서 김인후의 도덕 감정론－「천명도」를 중심으로－

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reinterpret Kim In-hoo's Chonmyungdo(「天命圖」) in terms of emotion theory. His diagram expresses the problem of human nature, fostering and moral practice through the problem of coordination of emotions. First, zhong(中) in his diagram signifies feelings not triggered by external objects. Second, in the diagram, yu(欲) includes six emotions as emotions representing seven emotions. Third, emotion changes into various emotions through interaction with external objects, and acts as a driving force of action. Fourth, the problem of moral good and bad is determined by emotional coordination. Fifth, the coordination of emotion is determined by the cognitive function and thought action of the mind. When problems arise in the functioning of the mind, the emotions are not coordinated and cause human actions to flow into evil. Sixth, jing(敬) allows the emotions to be expressed according to the situation by making the functions of the mind work well. Through the cultivation of emotions, human beings grow into individuals who practice good conduct on their own personalities, and become emotional individuals who contribute to the harmony and peace of the community on the social side.
