久庵 韓百謙의 學問觀에 대한 小考

Abstract

This paper examines Guamʹs academic attitude and tendency with several his works, especially focusing. The contents are summarized in three categories as follows. Firstly, Guam insists on creative theory by adding his own thoughts on the original text while following Jeong‧juhak(鄭‧朱學)'s theory in the 16th century. While presenting creative opinions through the original text, he shows his thoughts on SadanChiljung(四端 七情) more clearly through schematization. Secondly, Guam tries to prove the core of the book with critical academic attitude of reading and contemplating the original text of the scriptures. This academic attitude leads to the finding of Gokgeop(曲袷), Geo(袪), Sun(純), and Buseung(負繩) in Yegi(『禮記』) which are not in the‘Jujagarye(『朱子家禮』). Thirdly, Guam pursues an empirical theory based on actual measurement. with historical researching through literature. While he finds that Mencius and Zhu Xi's arguments about Jeongjeon(井田) are wrong through empirical testing, he shows his academic attitude that opens up to younger researchers. accepting that his argument is not always correct. This academic attitude and tendency of Guam leads to the evaluation that it plays a leading role in the spirit of later Silhak(實學).
