다산 정약용과 일본 古學派 비교 연구

Abstract

Ordinarily, two sorts are referred to as an influence on Tasan Jeong Yag-yeong’s school trends and attitude. One is an ethos of practical learning(hereinafter, referred to as ‘Silhak’ ), with which he acquainted himself from a young age while devouring the books by a prominent figure of Silhak Song-ho Lee-Ik(星湖 李瀷), and the other is Matteo Ricci’s 『True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven』, in which he was absorbed for quite a while after being exposed to it first through Lee-Byeok(李檗) when he was 23 years old in 1784. At that time, the scholars during the Joseon Dynasty were inquiring into alternative learning to Zhu Xi's learning, which had already exposed its limitation, around Silhak scholars, in which Tasan Jeong, Yag-yeong(茶山 丁若鏞) managed to construct an independent philosophical system by reinterpreting traditional philosophy(Confucianist philosophy)while having a theoretical showdown against the paradigm of Zhu Xi's learning unlike most of the Silhak scholars who were devoted to only practical learning mostly based on Silsagusi(an idea of putting importance on factual and empirical evidence for seeking for truth)and Gyeongsechiyong(an idea that learning should be a thing which can produce practical gains in ruling the world). Looking an empty, alienated property of Zhu Xi's learning in the face through Silhak, and cogitation of western Thomism, which he acquired through 『The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven(天主實義)』, played a big role in such a process. Yet, in addition to this, this study is going to take a note of the influence of Kogakuha(古學派) in Japan, especially Ito-Jinsai(伊藤仁齋), on Tasan. It’s because Tasan Jeong Yag-yeong himself is not only putting emphasis on excellence of Japanese Kogakuha in his books repeatedly but he is also intermittently manifesting the appearance of Japanese Kogakuha in Jeong Yag-yeong’s thought, especially in his theory of Human nature as appetite(性嗜好說), or his thought of attaching importance to practice, which is referred to as originative. Of course, there is a study which had an eye on the similarity and dissimilarity between these thoughts mentioned above. Nevertheless, the study failed to show profound research performance. Hereupon, this study is intending to carry out the ideological comparison(influential relationship) of both parties while conducting more in-depth research on the basis of the existing research performance.
