AB - Taoism is mostly thought to be associated with personal transcendence or fantasy. We think it is not so associated with a social problem. It is known that King Jeongjo established the theory of a powerful king based on Neo-Confucianism and suppressed new ideology and academic heresy. It is a surprise that he was very interested in the discipline for Taoism and had profound knowledge of it.
Jeongjo took a medical approach to the discipline for Taoism. He argued that Taoism was a branch of Confucianism, so the discipline for Taoism could be regarded as Confucianism so long as we excluded superstitious factors from it. He highly emphasized usefulness of the discipline for Taoism and tried to square it with ruling a country.
This shows that he had flexibility in his view of heresy. I think his endeavor to square the discipline for Taoism with ruling a country, was influenced by Seo Myeong-eung, his teacher. He interpreted Taoism positively and wanted to use it for theory of public administration. This issue needs to be covered seriously in the history of Korean Taoism.
