Abstract

A lot of philosopher in Korea forget the identity of philosophy themselves. Studying direction and results on not only Korean philosophy but also Eastern philosophy and Western philosophy are performed without concerning about real world, politics, economy, culture, etc. Korean modern and contemporary history was the history of ordeal by invasion and overcome it. The contradiction of the times were the corruption of three-pillar taxation system that was occurred by Western Party, Noron Party and In-Law Government after the middle age of Joseon as well as Neo-Confucianism ideology of central and local corrupted official. In other word, their administrative philosophy and political thought were lost the validity of "the essence of Zeitgeist"Silhak was Silsagusi, that was the thought of reforming the dogma that couldn't criticize strained reality and make people's life exhausted with "the Renaissance of Confucianism. In 19th century, the situation of importing Western learning and Catholics, the Western inflitration(impact) into the East and a renovational Protestantism, Western imperialism and Japan as their agent threatened Joseon. The imperialistic world view of social evolution theory, that was infested in that times, is still remained today. Opportunistic slogan and behavior of politicians and officials, who can't know about what or who politics is for and don't have political purpose and philosophy, strain and exhaust many of people's life just as their power of influense as well as themeselves. Kim Ku said: We are not the persons who steal another's things of benefit from another but the persons who are happy with contributing to families, neighbours and brothers. They are what we call Sonbi and mans of virtue," in <My Wishes>. This phrase is becoming a teaching of Korean today.
