14세기 정도전의 유교입국론

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider Jeong Do-jeon's Theory of Confucian state construction during the historical transition period of the late Goryeo and early Joseon Period. At the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, Confucian scholars were at odds with each other due to the differences in historical consciousness after the Yuhwa-do group, which developed into a homogeneous aspect of conservatism and innovation. From the realistic perspective of Jeong Do-jeon, the conditions of the late Goryeo Dynasty were so poor that it was impossible to revive the Goryeo dynasty. Jeong Do-jeon denied the legitimacy of the Goryeo dynasty and pursued the transformation of the system after he realized that fundamental prescriptions were required to eradicate social structural contradictions as the national operating system became abnormal. Jeong Do-jeon attempted to change the ideological paradigm from the Buddhist ideology, which had long been a traditional concept, to the idea of studying abroad. To this end, Jeong Do-jeon criticized the theoretical problems of Buddhist doctrines based on the Neo-Confucianism accepted at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty. Jeong Do-jeon's Buddhist monument, which was claimed during the late Goryeo and early Joseon Periods, was a kind of social ideology, starting from a sense of mission as a Confucian scholar. Jeong Do-jeon's paradigm shift toward Confucian entry was seen as an attempt to shift his ideas to studying abroad through the criticism of heresy of Buddhism and Taoism. Another characteristic that emerged during Jeong Do-jeon's Theory of Confucian state construction is the indigenousization of Confucian political ideology through the social implementation of the Confucian norm system.
