Abstract

This paper compares and examines the theory of Inmulseongi of sunam(An jung-bok, 1712~1791) and Dasan(Jeong yak-yong, 1762~1836) who are members of the Toegye school, Seongho school, Silhak scholar, and reveals their similarities and differences. In conclusion, both Sunam and Dasan within the same Seongho school argue for the theory of Inmulseongi. However, there is a difference in the content of the theory of Inmulseongi that they claim. If Sunam develops the theory of Inmulseongi from the standpoint of inheriting Neo-confucianism worldview, Dasan develops the theory of Inmulseongi from the standpoint of criticizing the Neo-confucianism worldview. This is evident in the interpretation of Seong(性), and if Sunam is interpreted as a foresight of human nature in the tradition of Neo-confucianism, Dasan is interpreted as a favorite symbol. This is nothing short of saying whether it is a succession of existing Neo-confucian traditions or a shift to a new paradigm to overcome the limitations of Neo-confucianism. This is the theoretical difference between these. Nevertheless, similar theoretical structures are revealed in the process of arguing that are different. Unlike Sunam interpreting the difference between human nature and thing nature in the composition of Sadan/bonyeonjiseong and Chiljeong/kijiljiseong, Dasan interprets it as the composition of Dosim/doeuijiseong and Insim/kijiljiseong. This is the theoretical parallel between these.
