대진(戴震)의 혈기(血氣)와 심지(心知)의 관계에 관한 연구 - 역학(易學)의 음양(陰陽) 관계를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between ‘Flesh and Blood(血氣)’ and "The Faculty of the Understanding(血氣)" presented by Chinese philosopher Dai Zhen in terms of ‘Study of Book of Changes(易學)’ in terms of Qi-monism(氣一元論). Dai Zhen says 'Flesh and Blood and 'The Faculty of the Understanding are human nature and come from one root of Yin-Yang's Qi. However, he did not reveal how ‘The Facility of the Understanding’ is influenced by 'Flesh and Blood and how 'Flesh and Blood and "The Facility of the Understanding" are connected. The problem of explaining the relationship between 'Flesh and Blood and "The Faculty of the Understanding" is linked to how Qi-Philosophy and the methodology of thinking across the mind and matter in traditional East Asian ideas can be established. The proposition that both ‘Flesh and Blood’ and ‘The Faculty of the Understanding’ have the basis of Qi is also linked to the question of identifying the foundation of Dai Zhen's Qi-Philosophy. Qi-monists establish their Qi-Philosophy through research and interpretation of the Book of Changes(周易). To define Dai Zhen's philosophical characteristics as Qi-monism, one must reveal how ‘Study of Book of Changes’ influenced his ideas. In this paper, we believe that the relationship between 'Flesh and Blood' and 'The Facility of the Understanding' can be explained through the Yin-Yang interaction presented in mechanics. In Dai Zhen's Qi-Philosophy, 'Flesh and Blood' and 'The Facility of the Understanding' are united in the structure of the Yin-Yang interaction. The acquisition of knowledge of sensory domains and the acquisition of knowledge of mental domains are also accomplished in Yin-Yang's interaction. Dai Zhen’s thoughts on ‘Flesh and Blood’ and ‘The Faculty of the Understanding’ value specific and phenomenal perceptions of the world and things, and do not separate the body from the mind. His ideas are the result of traditional reasons reconstructing himself against external challenges.
