ABSTRACT

This thesis aims to investigate Dasan Jeong Yak-Yong’s Reformative Moral Philosophy System. Dasan Jeong Yak-yong  lived through the reigns of King Jeongjo and Sunjo, from the 38th year of King Yeongjo to the 2nd year of King Heonjong, a period of political, social and ideological disorder and extreme partisan fi ghting. Dasan found the core cause of the crisis so serious that the people died and the country collapsed in Juja Neo-Confucianism and Li-Ki(理 氣)-theory, which were the ideologies of doctrinal order and governance in society at the time. Dasan criticized the fundamental principles of inactivity and Li-Ki(理氣)-theory, declared that Neo-Confucianism was incompatible with the original Confucianism, and insisted that the pure teaching of Confucius and Mencius should be reestablished in its place. Dasan fi rst rearranged the Confucian Gyeonghak system and expanded it into the Six Classics system by adding the three classics of Spring and Autumn, Ye, and Ak to the Four books and the Th ree Classics system that was in use at the time. His study of Chinese classics means a detailed interpretation and extensive commentary on the whole Six Classics and the Four books. Dasan understood Jiin and Anmin as the two pillars of Gyeongsaehak. Jiin is to appoint talented people to the right place according to ability, and Anmin is to enrich the lives of the people. If these two things are practiced, it can be said that the main task of government is completed. In his system of moral philosophy, Gyeonghak, Yehak, and Gyeongsehak are inseparable from each other because they all contain the contents for self-cultivation and governance at the same time. As can be seen from the fact that the original name of 『Gyeongseiyupyo』 is 『Bangryechobon』, Gyeongseihak is both Yehak and Gyeonghak, and even in the case of 『Heumheumsinseo』, Gyeongseihak is no diff erent from Yehak . Th erefore, in this paper, Dasan’s studies are broadly divided into Gyeonghak and Gyeongsehak, and we try to understand Dasan’s reformative moral philosophy.
