艮齋 田愚의 『明儒學案』 독해 양상과 그 성향

Abstract

This paper aims to research 『The Records of Ming Scholars』(明儒學案)'s influence with its focus on academic tendency of Jeon woo(田愚). In late Joseon Dynasty, a trade between Joseon and Qing dynasty became energetic and an enormous amount of academic books such as 『The Records of Ming Scholars』 by Huang Zongxi flew into Joseon. To follow this trend, Joseon orthodox-Neo-Confucians formally took much interest in quest for Ming Scholars. Nak-Ron Group's Jeon woo was influenced by the early Qing Dynasty. In consequence, he became a Confucian classics specialist. Especially, When examining his works in criticizing the theory of Yangmingism, those written are like a Huang Zongxi. This implies that he had perused references of academic history such as The Records of Ming Scholars. After researching the Collection of Jeon woo's Works about criticizing Yangmingism, we can see the following facts. First, criticizing the theory of Wang Shouren and Huang Zongxi. Second, agreeing the theory of Liu­Zongzhou and criticizing the theory of Huang Zongxi. Third, criticizing the theory of Shufen and agreeing the theory of Huang Zongxi. Fourth, criticizing the theory of Qiujun and agreeing the theory of Huang Zongxi. This implies that scholars in late Joseon Dynasty, including Jeon woo, criticizing the theory of Yangmingism and agreeing the theory of orthodox-Neo-Confucianism because of The Records of Ming Scholars. This is meaningful that orthodox-Neo-Confucians in late Joseon Dynasty had receptive to a scholarship of early Qing Dynasty and achieved a complete mastery.
