동기감응론의 한계성에 따른 방향성 모색

Abstract

Identical-Qi Sympathy theory was originated in the word '同聲相應 同氣相求(the same sound responds each other and the same Qi responds each other)' of Confucius and it has long been a golden rule in Feng shui. Especially, the greatest sages, Mencius and Chu-tzu(朱子) had almost same thought in Feng shui and even they actively accommodated the idea of Confucius. However, the Identical-Qi Sympathy theory has not only positive but also censorious awareness. It was criticised by scholar of the Realist of Confucianism in the late Joseon Dynasty. The problem was not Feng shui itself but people who parochially dealt Feng shui with only good or ill luck in black and white and exaggeration. Besides, the Identical-Qi Sympathy theory has clear theoretical limitation to deal with various mechanism in many fields. And more rational and objective study is necessary due to it`s limited logical structure. Feng shui contains all the factors to adapt, comprehend and remodel nature with convenience. And it also has an important meaning to improvement human residential environment by organically harmonizing indoor and outdoor natural environment. Feng shui that can provide good solutions to present society improving many environmental problem is the fruit of natural science, cultural sciences and empirical science. Therefore, Feng shui is an useful study to modern society, because it improves between human being and nature and proposes solutions.
