Abstract

This paper aims to find out that the plan of enlightenment that he points to is ultimately the production of the body having usefulness. And through this work, we will identify the fact that an enlightenment of koreans argued by Lee, Kwang-Su is an integrated one to cover the spirit and the flesh to consist of the body. The theory of the national reformism to essentially shows Lee's thought about an enlightenment of koreans is the statement about the ways that koreans transform their moral corruptions and physical inferiorities by systematical and efficient ways. The national reformism to be insisted on by him is that a few leaders transform koreans' spirits and fleshs into moral and capable predispositions by strict disciplins and regulations. <Love> of Lee, Kwang-Su's novels would be, what we call, 'Conclusion' of the national reformism. This novel perfectly shows figures that a few leaders try to make koreans' bodies useful. This progress is managed by the hospitals to conduct a mechanism of medical science. Therefore the patients can't feel oppressive characters of reforming. Through this, they can be transformed into the useful bodies. The national reformism of Lee, Kwang-Su may put in the desire of patriotism in an angle of vision of pursuing the strenthening of capacity of koreans. That is, his thought can put in the national prosperity and development. But there are the characters of oppressing an indiviual personality and freedome in it.
