牛溪 成渾의 도학사상

Abstract

The moral philosophy(道學) of u-gye(牛溪), Seong-Hon's(成渾) who has been kept a spirit tablet in a Confucian shrine, has been considered in this paper. U-gye who had learned a family's academy for generations from his father, Seong Su-chim(成守琛), essentially inherited The moral philosophy of jeong-am(靜庵), Jo Gwang-jo's(趙光祖). The moral philosophy that claims to stand for humanitarian principles of Confucius and Mencius, individually sets one's sights on Confucius with rounding one’s character and will be socially aimed at the bliss-society with realizing the rule of right. Concretely being mentioned of a practical Confucianism philosophy supplemented by accurate and reasonable Neo-Confucianism in the Sung dynasty period(宋), The moral philosophy is a comprehensive thought which embraces philosophy, ethics and religion. The moral philosophy in the Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮) which had accommodated The moral philosophy of Sung dynasty's in the last period of Korean dynasty(高麗), put emphasis on loyalty(義理) more especially than humanitarianism(仁道) between them. Intrinsic racial sprit of Korean was cultured having seon-bi spirit which had gainsaid invasion and the rule of might but sought truth and right path, being become a reality by The moral philosophy of jeong-am, Jo Gwang-jo's who was a representative moralist in the Joseon Dynasty. Criticizing the then current social corruption and irregularity, Jeong-am died for one´s chastity on instituting reforms based on loyalty and right path of love of the people. The moral philosophy of Jo Gwang-jo's was carried over by Seong Su-chim who retired to hermitage in the mountain and practiced The moral philosophy, undergoing a massacre of scholars in 1545 years(乙巳士禍). He handed down The moral philosophy to Seong-Hon by a family's academy for generations. The characteristics of Seong-Hon's thought had more weight with the moral philosophy' practice than the theory of Neo-Confucianism. He, therefore, gave oneself trouble on setting great store by the So-bible(小學), accentuated about politics which could help subjects sincerely and ultimately set himself targets in giving body to the great truth of human relations. The moral practical philosophy of Seong-Hon's which unites the theory and practice into one, will bring out the many meanings to modern society which should be rehumanized in earnest and make its request a just society.
