「太極問」의 太極에 관한 고찰

Abstract

There is a doubt about 『Gubongjip(龜峯集)』 Vol.3 「TàiJíwèn(太極問)」’s original author, but the contents’s self have good reference for the school of Yulgok’s the theory of LǐQì and TTàiJí. In this article. I consider 「TàiJíwèn」’s author is Gubong Song Yikpil(宋翼弼. 1534~1599), and I will study his philosophical thought in there. For this purpose first, I researched about the concept of Wújí(無極) and TàiJí(太極), and there inter-relationship. Gubong said that Wújí and TàiJí are the eternal substance, and the genuine of Wújí is just TàiJí. Next, I studied the relation between TàiJí and LǐQì. Gubong regarded TàiJí that is Lǐ, Lǐ and Qì is “one, but it's where Two(一而二), two and, as one”. Lǐ and Qì is “not be separated from each other(不相離), not mix together(不相雜)”. Lǐ have the ability of the communication, Qì have the limitations, also Lǐ and Qì they forming the diversity and unification in nature. Lastly, I studied the Moving and stopping of Yīn·Yáng(陰陽) in Gubong’s philosophy. He explained the Moving and stopping of Yīn·Yáng is the principle of TàiJí, and that is the mandate from Heaven(天命). In this study, I sought after the Gubong’s Concept of TàiJí have another Characteristic with Zhūxī(朱熹. 1130~1200) and Lǐěr(李珥. 1536~1584), and how we can utilize “the TàiJí” in modern viewpoint. In the age of globalization, We need developing Korean bland using the draw a TàiJí(太極) symbol.
