격물치지의 확충과 업의 개념

Abstract

"Gyeokmulchiji” (格物致知) has become the basic system of the epistemology of Confucianism and the rationale for illuminating the basis of moral awareness, since Joo-hee(朱熹) wrote 「Gyeokmulchiji Bomangjang(補亡章)」 of 『Daehakjanggu(大學章句)』. The issue of "Gyeokmulchiji," has recently been drawing attention as it has various possibilities and tasks that Confucianism can be connected to scientific inquiry methods and knowledge systems. Based on "Gyeokmulchiji," according to the changes and demands of the times, the expansion of its use to "Gyeokmulchijihak," and "The concept of business" is expanded (擴充), and at the center of it, the basics of emphasizing morality should be prepared. Companies, which are the economic agents of the country today, must first clarify the scope and contents of their business for their successful management. This is the establishment of the concept of Business. and next, 'Gyeokmulchijihak’ which rationally and scientifically supports the execution of that rite, should follow, and thirdly, it should be supported by the mental ‘Gyeokmuljiji’ that values morality and ethics of the most of corporate members. It is desirable to have an integrated operation in which the three-layer structure is organically linked. Comparing this to the gwaesang(卦象) of the Taegwae(泰卦) of Iching(周易), it can be interpreted as the image(象) of the Jicheon Taegwae, in which the earth trigrams above and the heaven trigrams below communicate with each other. It is considered most desirable when the physical concept of Business and 'Gyeokmulchijihak’ are located on the surface as yin(陰), and the metaphysical '格物致知' as yang(陽), centered on the inside and helping each other. A company must clarify the 'concept of Business' and respond with scientific thinking to realize its Business success but all of these start from the mindset of morality and ethics, and need to be guided and practiced. And it is necessary to consider timing that fit the times in the sense that each purpose.
