ABSTRACT

In East Asian thought, there is a Chinese idiom called “Gyungchunaein(敬天愛 人)” which is comparable to “Love of God and neighbor” which is the core doctrine of the Bible. This article analyzes the idea of Tasan(茶山) Jung Yak-yong(丁 若鏞), who made Sosasangje(昭事上帝) which is similar to the meaning of 'love of God and neighbor'. Former researches on Tasan had been focusing on the idea of 'Sangje(上帝)' rather than 'Sosa(昭事).', However, scholars have recently emphasized on the idea of 'Sosa(昭事)'. Thus, this article focuses on 'Sosa' which is an act rather than 'Sangje' which is the object of 'Sosa'. Tasan says that Sosajihak(昭事之學) is Gunjajihak(君子之學). In other words, Sosajihak does not simply mean a religious dimension, but the discipline that deals with the leader's way of Sachin and Sacheon. Based on this ethical foundation, this research makes a connection between Tasan and Christian ethics.
