18세기 북학파의 역사의식

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the historical consciousness of the Northern School, which raised the issue of the times and tried to solve it after the Japanese Invasion of Korea and the Manchu Invasion of Korea in the late Joseon Dynasty. The starting point of the Northern School was not the idea of antagonizing the Zhujiahak but to recognize the ideology of the Zhujiahak style at that time and to overcome it. The Northern School sharply criticized the closed authority of Giseong or the structural contradictions of a ruined society. This spirit of criticism manifested itself in an open manner. At that time, he showed a wide interest in ideas and an open attitude toward them, breaking away from the closed school tradition of the one-sided subject matter. The Northern School expressed a ambivalent attitude toward the study. Although the Northern School maintained a critical stance on Catholicism, which is a religious field in the West, it was very interested in science and technology, which is another area, and showed an active acceptance. The Bukhak group sought to stabilize the lives of the people by acquiring excellent foreign skills and innovating domestically to invest in the welfare of use and strengthen the nation. The Northern School wanted to overcome the surrounding national consciousness by recognizing the relative egocentricity of the nation in the sense of history. Pointing to the unrealisticness of intellectuals in the time of the transfer of the country, the Northern School criticized the realistic response to the Qing Dynasty, namely the justification for not being able to take a self-reliant and autonomous position. Modern society is called a multicultural society. In this era, the historical consciousness of the 18th-century Northern School suggests a lot. The Bukhak group intended to link traditional culture to practical use by diagnosing and understanding it in a practical way, rather than just obsessing over it ideologically. This Northern School's historical consciousness can be understood in a practical way and contribute to achieving more practical and practical cultural communication.
