石谷 李圭晙의 詩文을 통해서 본 학문과 현실인식

Abstract

This thesis aims to look into Seokgok’s life and academic directing points, centering on poetry contained in his book, 『SeokgokSango』. He has been so far studied mainly by the oriental medicine field and few studies have been done from the perspective of literatureㆍthought. He was a figure who followed the academic trend of Gihosarim whose center was Yeongnamsarim. He lived in Seokdongjae[Seokgokseodang] throughout his life, where he forgot the world, absorbed in study in an endless try to live a striving life like unhindered clouds flowing in the air and ever-flowing streams. Reason why he studied in Seokdongjae, teaching next generations is that he saw the then world full of disloyal subjects hardly caring for fairness. He saw such a hard reality of Chosun Dynasty come from the East-West academic division caused by Lichi Theory. Insisting that ‘the source of the Way’ lies not in the exterior but in the ‘interior,’ he saw it right that his students should have their mind at right state before taking action, fully master the pen and the sword before working on writing and pursue to know the heaven’s calling(i.e. Why they are born into this world.) before knowing their own personality.
