공손룡의 「통변론(通變論)」 연구

Abstract

Until now, in Korean community of philosophy, the study of Gongsunlong's thought has been centered around theories of Baima feima and Mingshi lun. Though there have been some rare studies of his other rare works such as Jianbo lun and Zhiwu, there have been no theses or studies of Tongbian lun and Chibu lun. This article is the first one on Gongsunglong's theory of Tongbian which has not been analyzed or studied in Korean academic circles. Theory of Tongbian is concerned with not only connecting sensory world to conceptual world but also with sophisticated exploration of Erbuyi(twoness is not the same as oneness)and Erwuyi (twoness does not contain oneness). This article, especially by way of extensive, normal evidence and also abnormal evidence, sheds light on and succeeds in analyzing "twoness is not the same as oneness" and " twoness does not contain oneness."This exploration is divided into two parts. In the first part, the author explains the paired relationship between one and two or two and left side and right side. that "twoness is not the same as oneness or that twoness does not contain oneness" will be explained by using the foregoing concepts. In the second part, concepts such as "yellowness", "horseness" "blue empyrean", and "hen" will be explored. Gongsunlong identifies the specific object with the referent. For this to be possible, absolute idealism comparable to Berkeley is presumed. However, Gongsunlong went further a step ahead. Namely, he argues that only the references exist. He reduces all existents to language. This article will shed light on Gongsunlong's thought when there has been no serious study on theory of Tongbian.
