奇正鎭과 田愚의 성리학적 쟁점과 鄭載圭의 성리설

Abstract

Jeong Jae Gyu was a remarkable Neo-Confucianist who introduced Ki Jeong Jin's theory into the Western Part of Gyeong-sang Province. He leaded the publication work of his master's anthology and he was at the head of counteraction against Jeon Woo who criticized Ki Jung Jin's distinctive theory. In the process of explanation, he developed his own theory. He intended to establish Ju Li philosophy that put restrictions on the maximum permissible range of values. And he tried to justify that values by theory of Ju Li empathizing Li(理)-supervisor. He applied this idea to the theory of Li movement, the theory on whether the nature of human and the nature of things are the same or not(人物性同異論), and the theory of the innate conscience. This study aimed to find out the characters of Jeong Jae Gyu's Neo-Confucianism. Thereupon first of all, I analyzed Ki Jeong Jin's theory that was a starting point of Jeong Jae Gyu's, and Jeon Woo's writing that was the most important critique aganst Ki Jeong Jin. The next, I investigated Jeong Jae Gyu's Neo-Confucianism, in this place I concentrated my discussion on the thought of Li(理)-supervisor. The last, I wanted to search for the meanings of their philosophy. Consequently, Neo-Confucianism of Jeong Jae Gyu possessed a theory, that have something in common with Ki Jeong Jin moreover Yi Hang Ro and Yi Jin Sang in the spirit of the Li(理)-supervisor. He did not throw away a strong point of Ju Ki theory. Instead of contempt, he aimed at combination of two tendencies that predominated in the 19th Chosun academic world.
