「繫辭上」 제4장과 『주역』의 학문체계 고찰

Abstract

This thesis divided The first volume of Xici(繫辭) Chapter 4 into three major parts, and examined the academic system of the I-Ching and the content of the moral doctrine of changes (易道). In the first part, the origin and presiding features of the moral doctrine of changes is discussed, and as through this we can see that it is represented as mathematical principle of the Eight Diagrams; the Providence of Guàxiàng, and Hetu-Luoshu. “Looking up contemplates the brilliant phenomena of heavens and looking down examines the definite arrangements of the earth, thus he knows the causes of darkness and light” is connected with Eight Diagrams, and “He traces things to their beginning and follows them to their end, thus he knows what can be said about death and life” is represented through Providence of Guàxiàng, and “the wandering away of the soul produces the change, thus he knows the characteristics of the anima and animus” is linked to the Hetu-Luoshu. In the second part, the moral doctrine of changes is shown to be the same as Heaven and Earth, and you can see the four figures of the moral doctrine of changes which unfold in Heaven and the Earth. It can be inferred that the moral doctrine of changes, which acts as four figures linked to knowledge (知), righteousness (義), the proprieties (禮) , love(仁), is the reason for human nature through the benevolence of “and hence he can love”. First, “There is a similarity between him and heaven and earth” contains the most fundamental meaning, and so it is connected with “knowledge”. “His knowledge embraces all things and his course is helpful to all under the sky” is connected with “righteousness”, and ‘He acts according to the exigency of circumstances without being carried away by their current” is linked to “the proprieties”. The moral doctrine of changes is revealed through human nature, and humans are aware of the truth and follow the four virtues. Finally, in the third part, the first and second parts of Chapter 4 of “The first volume of Xici” are summarized by discussing the change of the Heaven and the Earth and the completion of all things, and the lack of shape in the way of the day and night and the moral doctrine of changes. From the above, it can be seen that the moral doctrine of changes is the metaphysical person and the president who transcends the law of the heavenly earth, and is the same as the heavenly earth, which is revealed through human nature. In general, the I-Ching is understood as a book that clarifies the laws of nature, heaven, and Earth but this is the standpoint of physicalness and remains in phenomenological thought.
