권상하의 인물성동이론 해석 고찰 ― 이간에 대한 비판을 중심으로 ―

Abstract

This paper examines Suam(Kwon Sang-ha, 1641-1721)'s inmulsungdongi theory. In the inmulsungdongi theory, the branching point that divides into same theory and different theory is generally summarized into two. One is the question of "whether things have osang like humans," and the other is the question of "whether there is kijiljisung even in times of mibal or whether there is good or evil even in times of mibal." Suam develops the inmulsungi theory of "there is no osang in things, and there is kijiljisung in times of mibal, but there is no evil because the ki does not work." This argument is clearly distinguished from Oeam that "things also have osang" or that "pure and no evil in times of mibal because it is only bonyeonjisung." In the end, Suam takes Namdang's hand by making the argument that "there are no osang in things" or that "there is kijiljisung even in times of mibal." From this point of view, it can be reaffirmed that Suam not only provided the beginning of the inmulsungdongi theory but also played a decisive role in the formation of Hohak through criticism of Oeam.
