儒의 의미 재고를 통한 부정적·긍정적 고찰

Abstract

we have long revered Confucius more than China among the various schools of the Spring and Autumn period. In addition, China and Japan widely embraced anti-Confucian old ideas and Yangmyonghak. However, Joseon tends to blindly value the original or the interpretation of the scripture, dismissing old-fashioned ideas or Yangmyeongology as people who engage in activities that disrupt the doctrine. In East Asia, such Confucianism was written off as a conservative ideology of the past, which became the dominant means of rulers after modern times, and an idea that should be abandoned. Meanwhile, Eastern Christian culture, which values not only humans but also all matters of heaven and nature and values harmony and tolerance, has recently emerged as a spiritual pillar to lead East Asian culture along with the Seowon's listing as a World Heritage. Based on this change in Confucian culture, we hope that Confucian ideas will be reborn as an alternative culture of modern goldenism, and in this paper, we will examine Confucianism by presenting positive aspects and negative aspects of Confucius Confucianism. Specifically, starting with criticism of Confucianism as a civilization, we intend to examine the early meaning of Confucius, the birth and status of Confucius, and the ideas established by Confucius in depth.
