『天符經』의 정신철학을 계승한 공자의 道를 함의한 『周易』 「繫辭傳」의 심층연구(二)

Abstract

Korea is one of the oldest civilizations in the history and started the education based on the culture of filial piety and the education of filial piety. Therefore, Korea is the country that introduced the education of moral and ethics for the first time. This is why Chinese call Korea as the country of manners of the Asia. The Holy Book of Heavenly Order is one of the most simple but profound scriptures in the world. It contains the three thoughts of Asia-Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. 'Heavenly Order' means the highest tao and the enlightenment of the great cosmos' limitless capacity. Again, this book is the oldest scripture and the most profound canon that make it as the source of world philosophy. From this point, Korea is the one that will open the new era for the history of world philosophy. The founder, Heavenly Emperor Hwanin, established Hwanguk and ruled the people with the enlightenment of the great cosmos. Through this he developed the limitless capability of the human being and resulted the development of the thought of Men Benefit for All. From the beginning, Koreans inherited the heavenly thought of the Men Benefit for All. This is the Korea's original thought and identity as well as the national consciousness. The heavenly god gave the Holy Book of Heavenly Order to the Heavenly Emperor Hwanin. Among three thoughts of Asia, Confucius' Remarks on Divination, the core of his thought, is influenced from the Holy Book of Heavenly Order written in Nokdo stript. In the part one of this study emphasized this and part II re-emphasizes this. It is significant that Confucius' core thought in the Remarks on Divination has a great impact on Korean thought. Interestingly, it was a book inherited the Korea's Holy Book of Heavenly Order that has been impacted on not just Asian thought but the world thoughts. However, It is shame that Korea's philosophy and education societies contaminate Korean consciousness by adopting foreign thoughts. It is the desperate time that we need to adopt innovative approach in government philosophy to revive the tradition.
