주체와 도덕의 관점에서 본 강화학파의 진가(眞假) 담론 -주체와 도덕의 관점에서 본 조선후기 진가(眞假) 담론Ⅱ-

Abstract

In this research I reviewed Jingaron(The Discourse about Truthfulness) developed by the school of Gangwha(강화학파) based on the theory of the nature of the human mind. And then I tried to find out how the change of moral ideology and the awareness of the subject which developed in the society of late-Joseon Dynasty appeared in the school of Gangwha. In addition to the conclusion, I analyzed the difference of ‘the concept of truth and falsity’ and ‘the characteristic of the subject’ comparing the school of Bukhak(북학파) with Rakhak(낙학파), who also discoursed about truthfulness. Jingaron(The Discourse about Truthfulness) was accepted through the leftist Scholars of Yangming philosophy and Gonganpa(공안파), especially The Childlike Mind(동심설) of Li Zhi(이지), and then it offered the structure of reflective discourse about a sense of identity and morality, combined with the criticism of the times and the society. In the school of Gangwha, Jeong Je-du(정제두),compromising between the theories of Wang Yang-ming and the Zhu Xi,emphasized the Real Mind(실심) and Real Principle(실리) and fortified moral identity and practice. Therefore, the school of Gangwha succeeded on the studies of the sincere mind. And through the discourse of truthfulness they reflected the sincerity of the moral subject and then pursued universality of moral principles. The standpoint of the school of Gangwha shown through Jingaron had morality in essence, world-monism and public consciousness of participation. This conflicts with the school of Bukhak, based on the leftist Scholars of Yangming philosophy and Taoism philosophy, which converted to morality-free, commutative and private identity. The school of Gangwha shows its tendency of reinforcement of the conservative order pursuing morality as the essence of the subject.
