難窩 吳繼洙의 성리설과 실천적 의리정신

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the life of Xiānnánhòuhuò(先難後獲) of OhGyesu(吳繼洙, 1843~1915) and the practical spirit of loyalty based on his Xìnglǐshuō(性理說). OhGyesu was a Neo-Confucian scholar and anti-Japanese martyr in Naju, Honam, at the end of the Joseon Dynasty. He inherited the family's academic tradition and learned various scriptures of Confucianism from ImIjae(臨履齋) OhTaegyu(吳泰圭, 1795~1866) for about 20 years. After OhTaegyu death, he studied Neo-Confucianism centered on Li(理) for 10 years at Nosa(蘆沙) KiJeongjin(奇正鎭, 1798~187) at the suggestion of his father. OhGyesu did not establish a new theoretical system on Xìnglǐshuō(性理說) or participate in the debate on Oepil(猥筆)⋅Napryangsaui(納凉私議) at the time. But He summarized his basic views on his Xìnglǐshuō(性理說) taking Zhūzǐxué(朱子學) and Nosahak(蘆沙學) as the standard. This not only helps those who are new to study to understand the overall flow of Neo-Confucianism, but also inherits the traditional academic direction. OhGyesu thoroughly inherited Nosa KiJeongjin's Neo-Confucianism and Wijeongchuksa(衛正斥邪) ideology, enhanced the status of the Nosa school by carrying out lectures and civilian army activities, and practiced the spirit of loyalty against Japanese imperialism in the process of national collapse. His anti-Japanese will later became a pivotal opportunity to develop into an independence movement, and showed the attitudes and beliefs of intellectuals responding to real problems. A study on OhGyesu will not only be able to grasp the social network of intellectuals in Naju and the Nosa schools of Honam civilian army activities, but will also but will also help to grasp the modern and contemporary ideological flow.
