안재홍의 신민족주의와 ‘홍익민족주의’

Abstract

The nationalistic history started by DahnJae ShinChaeHo has been developed on the close relationship with DaeJongGyo. It set up the national identity that our history had begun in B.C. 24C as DahnGunJoSeon and succeeded to BuYeo and GoGuRyo in Manchuria area, which became ideological foundation for anti-Japan independence fighters. AhnJaeHong who inherited the nationalistic history found DaSaRi thought, the democratic principle and philosophy from JoSeon’s ancient unique historical heritage. And arranged it as new nationalism and new democracy, taking it as thought and ideological basis to establish the unified nation. DaSaRi which AhnJaeHong had found in JoSeon’s history was ancient democracy, but was monopolized by the special class(the nobility) only. He thought it(DaSaRi) should be extended and generalized to the whole nation. The wealth, power, and knowledge had to be possessed evenly to prosper together and the labor obligation should be performed equally by the whole people. He viewed these would make new democracy and new nationalism. Thus in this sense, SohnJinTae who walked a different way in nationalism, democracy, and collaboration of left and right cannot be regarded as a new nationalist like AhnJaeHong. There has been various studies and evaluations about AhnJaeHong’s new nationalism. But all of them just admit in common that he found the background factor of new nationalism and new democracy in JoSeon’s unique thought. But rare are the theses studying deeply about JoSeon’s unique thought itself. AhnJaeHong explained in his style the principle of JoSeon ancestors’ world view, oneㆍthree idea(一ㆍ三思想) as ‘Bi(void)’, ‘Mon(substance)’, and ‘Si(seed)’. Naming HongIkInGan idea whose concept and content had to be understood extendedly at the time of 1945 ‘DaSaRi’, he took it as the core of new democracy. He also utilized JoSoAng’s GyunPyeongHeungBangRon(均平興邦論) originated from 「ShinJiBiSa」in newnationalism. AhnJaeHong’s thought appeared in new nationalism and new democracy demonstrates that he was a SunDo master. Therefore the right evaluation of AhnJaeHong can only be possible when he is measured with Korean SunDo’s view point, not with western political ideas. This researcher suggests that the past evaluation of AhnJaeHong’s thought as DahnGun nationalism has to be changed into HongIk nationalism rightly, when we consider both that the core of DahnGun nationalism is the content of HongIk practical thought- harmonyㆍcoexistenceㆍpeace- and that the time it started was HwanWoong’s era.
