풍류도의 발견과 문화 정통론 구상 - 凡父 김정설의 사상과 ‘풍류-도통론’

Abstract

Beom-bu Kim Jeong-seol is not a well known figure as a thinker. Compared to Ham Seok-heon or Yu Young-mo upon whom recent scholar's attention was given, Beom-bu's thought is trivial both in its volume and quality. Nevertheless, I find that there are several interesting aspects in his thoughts. The key factor of his thought is an idea of orthodoxal genealogy of the Korean culture. He insists that the line of thoughts from shamanism, through Pung-ryu-do(the way of wind-and-flow) and taoist inner alchemical self cultuvation, to Dong-hak(Eastern Learning) is main stream of Korean culture. Beom-bu shows changes of interest in finding philosophical resources of his thought not in Confucain tradition but in Taoism and its cultivation system. Based on Taoist tradition, Beom-bu tries to overcome Neo-confucian theory of principle and vital-force. Even though he gives special emphasis on shamanism and Pung-ryu-do, he needs help from Taoism to go beyond Neo-confucainism. After criticizing Neoconfucianism Beom-bu finds philosophical possibility of the future in the thought of Choi Je-woo. As a result, Beom-bu could find an alternative genealogy of cultural orthodox, instead of Neo-confucianism.
