ABSTRACT

This article’s main subject are the analysis about the academic relationship of “Confucianism for Self-Cultivation” and “Governing People” in the JiBong LeeSuKwang’s several works and the research about the direction of his academic view point. Some characteristic aspects of JiBong’s academic view were examined. First, JiBong emphasized not only “saseosamgyeong” that stressed by the other scholar of the same time but also “Yukgyeong” as the basic learning for the governing a country as the basic scriptures of his academic foundation. The greatest purpose of studying the “Yukgyeong” was to learn not as a simple messagebut as a mind, and to put it into practical use. Second, JiBong emphasized the method of learning based on the practice, and defined those as a true learning which is the best way to solve the problems about the basic necessities of life for the public welfare. It was not a metaphysical study, but an academic book for everyday life. In addition, JiBong recognized the importance of mind attitude for learning and emphasized not character-oriented and theory-oriented but learning and practice-oriented learning Third, JiBong emphasized the discipline of the mind and realized it as the subject of all things, and tried to behave the “Ren” which could remove the selfish and conduct the equality of self and others, people and things. In conclusion, Jibong's scholarship accepts and compromises the diverse learning, and understands the learning from a practical point of view, and follows the academic category of practical Confucianism by self-reflection.
