王陽明의 실천론과 萬物一體 사상을 기반으로 한 武道의 道德性 탐색

Abstract

This study is a follow-up of "An Explorative Study of Morality in Mu-do grounded in Wang, Yang-Ming's 'Ideology of Knowledge - Action Unity'(Kim, Si-yeon and Kim, Dong-kyu, 2009)." which was conducted for conceptual unification of knowledge and action. Through this research, I intend to unify knowledge and action to enhance theory of practice. For this purpose, I explored how ‘Everyday life-Training(事上磨鍊)'and 'Cut root-Hole in pond(拔本塞源)', unified action theory of Wang Yang-ming's, can be realized as 'Mu-Do'`s action theory and I tried to figure out eventual meaning of 'Mu-Do' through 'all thing as one body(萬物一體)' which is the final destination of theory of practice. As a result, I came to the conclusion as follows. First, 事上磨鍊 is reached regardless of living and breathing instances, namely time, space, form and method. Even though 'Training(磨鍊)' of 'movement time(動時)' is more important than 'no movement time(靜時)', these two cannot be divided, and should be conducted pleasantly. Second, 拔本塞源 of martial artist is to reveal innate knowledge by removing selfish interest and desire. Thus the beginning of 'Mu' is 'Do', and the completion of 'Do' is 'Mu', which can bring us 'Ideology of Knowledge - Action Unity (知行合一)' of 'Mu-Do'. This is an action to become aware of Existence, which is a training method to distinguish true and false of 'Mu-Do'. Third, 萬物一體 means that morality of 'Mu-Do' is morally connected to all the living creature in the organic network of universe for co-existence. Moreover, 萬物一體 of 'Mu-Do' means that the reason of universe circulates in the form of intangibility and form repeatedly through 'Noumenon(本體)', by which morality of 'Mu-Do' is revealed.
