이통현의 理와 퇴계 理에 대한 비교 고찰

Abstract

In Asian-Chinese thought, we have been arguing two important concepts; just like in Greek, theorem and energeia. Later, in both continents theorem is the theory of substance, and energeia is the actual practical phenomena. Because of this similarity we are also confused by all means, especially while we are involved in comparative studies. between them. eastern and western philosophy. The results will be the same and still there cannot be any better answer for this purpose. However, we have to mention clear difference between them. In Hua-yen theorem is the othe side of energeia. What it is came from what it is not. The theoretical presence is, more or less, no other than what we see and sensed in practical sense. In Hua-yen to make the theorem real, the fact what we can theoretically understand has to be functional. Theorem and energeia are tete-a-tete. On the other hand, in Confucian theory, including some important scholars in middle age of Korean history, they think according to the reasonable theory of the mind is the most powerful substance, because otherwise we cannot understand the theorem. What we can say here has to do with differentiation of the standing point. Whether we see the objective phenomenon is all real, and we can interpret by our reason, or there is not a thing exist outside, but we have the power of understand as out human reality, or human nature. That is Aristoteles and Li-thought in Confucian, and this is more likely Buddhist, or Hua-yen thought.
