「太息錄」을 통해 본 東山 柳寅植의 계몽의식

Abstract

Dongsan Ryu In-sik(1865~1928) had written the essay of “Taesikrok”. The Meaning of “Taesikrok” is a record of deep sigh. The Mainstream driver of modern enlightment had written the essay of Korean Style, but Ryu In-sik had written that of Sino-Korean style. As the enlightenment discourses were aware that Sino-Korean literature containing the medieval order should be cleared off in the urgent task of modernization, they steadily attempted the otherization of Sino-Korean literature along with attacking old civilization. On the other hand, the producers of such enlightenment discourses containing the logic of otherizing Sino-Korean literature were in fact those who had learned the Sino-Korean literature of old civilization. They were different from enlightenment discourses that tried to otherize and exclude old civilization and Sino-Korean literature. In addition, there are Ryu In sik who attempted to enlighten learned intellects around directly. Enlightenment programs by Ryu In sik were faced with extremely violent resistance. It was because they looked down on Confucian scholars, who were proud of themselves as a leading class, as the subjects of enlightenment education.
