Abstract

Yangchon Kwonkun has discussed almost all the important topics of Neo-Confucian doctrine, namely "Sungrihak", which provided creative and critical interpretations and established the fundamentals of Korean Neo-Confucian doctrine. Particularly, its principle of the unity of Heaven and Man (Combining Heaven and Man and Making Them as One). Yangchon has explained about Hwang geuk which means the point of united with Tao of Heaven and Tao of Man is a Saint Man of virture into a part <Hong bum ku joo chun il hap il do> in Iphak tosol. The country controled by the Saint Man of virture was completed with Self-training to put the reverence first, and also established Tao of Man in accord with Tao of Heaven. In my opinion, Yangchon has emphasized "Democracy represented by the Saint Man of virtue" whom accomplished being united with Heaven and Man. Then has Yangchon been arrived in the sanctification which was presented by himself? Through his thoughts about reverence he has not admitted that there were so many limitation to realize the principle (li) of Heaven in Man rationality. Although the theory that the principle (li) of Heaven and of Man are same compactly has been possible in his idea, it's not possible in reality. If Yangchon has realized a disparate concept between theory and practice he must have doubt his thoughts about being united with Heaven and Man. Judging from not to reflect on his own theory Yangchon has only stop at his idea, means he couldn't reach to the sanctification. The human emotions are furnished with the physical emotions, the rational emotions, the spiritual emotions which Yangchon passed over. But it means He has not have any cognition about spiritual emotions besides not to be developed his theory, that he must be never get any practical use for his theory.
