소재 노수신과 서애 류성룡의 경세론, 그 실천과 의의

Abstract

Even though Noh Su-sin and Ryu Seong-ryong were very closely related to each other ideologically, they varied in the perception attitude toward the teachings of Wang Yangming and the theory of governance. Both of them were based on Zhu Xi studies, but they were different in the position for Gyeokmulchiji, Jondeokseong, and Domunhak, the theory of governance, and its practice as well as the timing and concentration of the acceptance of Wang Yangming's teachings. While Noh believed that a monarch should be able to distinguish men of virtue from men of small character through Chiji and made active recommendations of revolutionary figures, Ryu summarized the studies of kings into Myeongchejeokyongjihak and argued that governance should vary according to Chise and Nanse. In the ideological circles of Joseon running up only toward the principle of Zhu Xi, both of them held significance in various ways including raising certain questions, showing the ways that thinking based on the teachings of Wang Yangming took up the challenge of the times and its outcomes relatively clearly, providing the ideological grounds of practicality found in the bureaucratic Sarims, and sharing certain solidarity in the viewpoint of Ganganhak, part of the shore studies of the Nakdong River. In addition, the teachings of Wang Yangming sought after by Noh that was active before Imjinwaeran provided an important foundation for Ryu to secure the practice power of the teachings based on Zhu Xi studies after the war. Ideologically speaking, Noh made an ideological competition against Lee Hwang under the guidance of his master Lee Eon-jeok and led to the appearance of Ryu. While Lee Hwang compiled Lee Eon-jeok's doings and found Neo-Confucian purity and depth in him, Noh sensed the atmosphere of Wang Yangming's studies in him through Daehakjangguboyu published by Lee Eon-jeok. Like his master, Ryu criticized the teachings of Wang Yangming, but he maintained his affection and interest for them until his later days. The acceptance, criticism, and critical acceptance of the teachings of Wang Yangming contributed to the further dynamic development of the ideological history in Korea.
