조선 후기 실학의 주체성 문제 - ­박지원ㆍ박제가ㆍ정약용의 북학론을 중심으로-

Abstract

Sil-Hak has a meaning of that it reforms the existing thought system which is not proper for the present time. The theory of Book-Hak is just fit for such as notion of Sil-Hak. This thesis deals with the subject in the theory of Book-Hak, centering around Park Ji-Won, Park Je-Ga, and Jeong Yag-Yong. In case of Park Ji-Won, the subject means a identity that a subject is not controled by an object[不心役於物], but controls it[心役物]. It is related to a national identity. Park Je-Ga's priority matter is to drive out a national poverty. His theory of Book-Hak is to make his nation and people wealthy, in other words, his aim is to establish a national independence through a self-supporting economy. Jeong Yag-Yong thinks much of an individual autonomy and a subjective judgement on recognition. From these viewpoints, he insists on Dong-Do-Joong-Gi[東道中器] which means that it is the best to accept an Chinese advanced technology, maintaining firmly a Korean high-leveld culture. After all, the subject in the theory of Book-Hak implies both an individual identity and a national independence.
