곽종석의 태극이기론과 역학사상의 경학적 함의

Abstract

This paper examines how to evaluate the Confucian implications of Myeonwoo俛宇 Gwak Jong-seok’s (郭鍾錫) theory of the Great Ultimate and Ri-Chi太極理氣論 and his philosophy of I Ching易學思想. This paper focuses on the philosophical foundation for responding to national crises and how he consistently attempted to overcome crises based on this, while basing his theory on the theory of Neo-Confucianism based on the subject of reason, as the era in which he lived was a time of imminent crisis that could have led to the downfall of the nation. Myeonu placed li above chi in terms of value theory and morality, and viewed li as including the dimension of controlling and governing chi. Myeon-u wrote Rigyeol(理訣and explained various aspects such as ontology of li in relation to chi氣, theory of mind and self-cultivation in relation to virtue and good and evil, and moral practice theory in relation to yang-chi養氣 and ji-chi制氣. Myeon-u explained the principle of change in I Ching from the perspective of Yi-su, which means understanding the Book of Changes from the perspective of the theory of Gua-chi卦氣說. Myeon-u attempted to derive the meaning of various changing aspects of the hexagrams that symbolize various changing situations, including cases where the image of the concept mentioned in the hexagram effect history of the Book of Changes is taken from the meaning of the main hexagram. All of these hexagrams are hexagrams that serve as methods of I Ching-su that derive the meaning of the hexagram images when interpreting the hexagram effect history of the Book of Changes. Myeon-u accepted the I Ching ideas of Zheng Yi and Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty and aimed for the practice of li (理) as the fundamental concept of Neo-Confucian moral theory and metaphysics. Here, the basic goal of the theory of ideology was to interpret the hexagram-related history of the Book of Changes using the theory of ideology methodologies such as the interpretation of the central and correct, parallel and response中正比應 and the order of the hexagrams (卦序). Myeonwoo's theory of ideology applies the methodology of Sangsu-Yi studies in interpreting the hexagram-related history of the Book of Changes, so it is based on Sangsu-Yi while aiming for the theory of moral-principle Yi in terms of its purpose. And his theory of ideology is particularly influenced by the Neo-Confucianism of Zheng Yi and Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty. However, it also shows rare traces of inheriting the Sangsu-Yi studies of Lai Zhide來知德 of the Ming Dynasty.
