ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine 『Sikhanjinjeon』 of Sonji Hong-jaegu. 『Sikhanjinjeon』 is the work of Hong-jaegu that was first revealed after 『JeongsokShinpyeon』. 『Sikhanjinjeon』 consists of 2 books and 24 chapters. This book refutes the Catholic doctrine that was transmitted from the West at that time. Hong Jae-gu believes that Catholicism was disturbing the Confucian social order at the time in many ways. In this study, out of 24 chapters, the contents of 『Sikhanjinjeon』 were examined, focusing on chapter 3 of 「Seongdoseol(聖道說)」, 「Euigwanseol(衣冠說)」 and 「Yangmulbyeon(洋物辨)」. First of all, in 「Seongdoseol(聖道說)」, human character and mind were defined based on the goodness of human nature. In 「Euigwanseol(衣冠說)」, the importance of clothing was insisted. Finally, in 「Yangmulbyeon(洋物辨)」, Western technologies are new, but they explain the harm they have on Joseon. It is revealed that the Western technology is against the reason of heaven by removing the distinction between gradual and perspective. This study looked at only a part of the 『Sikhanjinjeon』. After examining the contents of criticism of the Catholic doctrine, we will be able to accurately understand the cause of 『Sikhanjinjeon』.
