한계 이승희의 사상적 특징에 대한 분석

Abstract

Lee, Seung-Hee(Hangye) is a person having a significant historical meaning in relation to the independence movement against the Japanese Empire. However, it makes us frustrated that his thought has not been illuminated in regard to such practical activities. It’s been due to the fact that his Neo-Confucian thought as the basis of his thought throughout his whole life had been under the absolute influence of Lee, Jin-Sang(Hanju), his father and teacher at the same time. However, we do not have to neglect the whole aspects of Hangye’s thought by way of regarding his thought as a simple following of his father Hanju’s. Hangye had accepted his father’s Neo-Confucian thought with subjective attitude, and shown special features of his own thought dealing actively with the situational changes of his times. Thus, because Hangye’s thought had close relationship with his practical activities, in order to rightly understand his activities it is necessary to make a through investigation into his thought. For this, in this study analyzing Hangye’s thought, we examined three distinctive features of his: his succession of Lee, Jin-Sang(Hanju)’s Joori theory, his adherence to Neo-confucian conservativeness, and his emphasis on social practice.
