劉宗周의 新儒學 수용 양상에 관한 고찰-중국 명대 유학사의 한 단면-

Abstract

This study critically analyzed the aspect of acceptance in Neo-Confucianism of Liu Zong-zhou, the Confucian, who was active in the end of Ming Dynasty to study an aspect of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty of China. Therefore, the study purposes to review not only the aspect of acceptance in Cheng Zhu-ism and Yang Ming-ism of Liu Zong-zhou (劉宗周) but also their association aspects. Through this, the writer figured the cause of why various evaluations on his various ideological involvement that crossed between Zhu Xi-ism and Yang Ming-ism were made in future generations. Consequently, his aspect of acceptance in Yang Ming-ism was not non-critical. He consistently adhered the position of critical acceptance rather than the unconditional acceptance in Yang Ming-ism like the acceptance in Cheng Zhu-ism. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate and define Liu Zong-zhou just as a Yang-Ming scholar. He proceeded the critical campaigns on the young students of Yang Ming, especially the leftist Yang Ming-ism of Zhedong (浙東), while intensifying the critical understanding in Yang Ming-ism. The method used to the criticism is no other than ‘dichotomy’. He questioned ‘Yitilun (一體論)’, which is ‘Benti (本體) =Gongfu (工夫)’ for the leftist Yang Ming-ism as he had denied dichotomy of Cheng Zhu-ism, and pointed out and criticized their harmfulness which only puts importance in ‘Benti’. On the other hand, he formed a scholarly community with people of the leftist Yang Ming-ism and proceeded various activities in aspect of scholarly exchange by putting academic criticism separately.
