연민 이가원의 교육사상에 대한 일연구(一硏究)

Abstract

This paper is A study on a study on Lee Gawon (李家源, 1917∼2000)’s educational thought. Born in Japanese colonial era as the 14th descendant of Toegye, Yeon-min (淵民) honed Chinese characters with a family history handed down from generation to generation and became the best Sino-Chinese literature scholar of the century. Based on this, he taught Chinese characters in front-line secondary schools after liberation, and worked as an educator at universities such as Sungkyunkwan University and Yonsei University. He continued to make efforts to connect the traditional Sino-Chinese literature, which has been neglected in the modern era when high-tech science was developing brilliantly, and has a great impact on future Sino-Chinese literature on the educational front. He helped perpetuate Sino-Chinese literature and Korean literature, which had been cut off based on the Confucian awakening of the national self. He devoted his life to Sino-Chinese literature and his main practice was education. His educational goal was to cultivate Confucian ideas and a subsequent generation of Sino-Chinese literature, and to be a Confucian human being in the field of realistic Chinese writing. The contents of the education set for this purpose were based on the Confucian scriptures of Thirteenth Sutra, most of which were materials of Korean literature left by our ancestors. His methodology of education was an extension of Confucian traditional learning and emphasized the strength of the fair. His assessment of education was in the feedback of fulfilling these objectives. The educational thought of the compassion Yi Ga-won implies self-awareness of the Korean people and the desire for national unification, and the spirit of patriotic enlightenment aimed at entertainment and education, including the succession spirit to carry on the tradition of national literature. In his educational thought, he could see the blind of Confucian realism based on patriotism and practicality.
