朱子의 “克己復禮”에 대한 신유학적 해석

Abstract

Chu hsi left profound interpretation and constant analysis on 'kejifuli' based on 『Lunyujingyi』, 『Lunyuhuowen』, 『Lunyujizhu』, and 『Zhuziyulei』. It can be said that this point contains the unique way of thinking in the Confucianism of Song Dynasty. Chu hsi referred to various interpretations and analyses on the doctrine of the pre-learners in the process of compiling his study into a book. In particular, he renewed the meaning of 'kejifuli' based on the true meaning of 'yiliyili'. 'yiliyili' can be discussed under the categories of 'jiangli' and 'bujiangli' macroscopically; however, since 'li(reason)' can be 'li(courtesy)' that conforms to nature microscopically, an abstruse issue remains between 'li(reason)' and 'li(courtesy)', which can be seen as the process of 'xiaxue'. Chu hsi discusses the process of 'xiaxue' under the category of 'gongfu' theory, and the process of 'xiaxue' on 'li(courtesy)' in the Confucianism of Song Dynasty is regarded as the base of social order. Therefore, the interpretation and analysis on 'kejifuli' through 'yiliyili' are not simply confined in the philosophical area but are eyes to look into society and indexes to show the academic systematicity of teaching and learning as well. This study is conducted through philological research. Based on how Chu hsi analyzed eight person's interpretations on 'kejifuli', this paper intends to suggest a variety of possibilities to approach 'theory of mind and attribute', which is presently considered as a chief subject for studying the Confucianism of Song Dynasty.
