ABSTRACT

In 1928, Park Jong-Hong skipped the research stage on Toegye's philosophy and immediately published his research results on Toegye's educational thought. Park Jong-Hong's Toegye Study, who worked as a teacher at Daegu Higher Common School after serving as a teacher at Boseong Common School an181d Daegu Suchang Common School, had a deep layer of research and its speciality. Park Jong-Hong's study of educational thought was baptized by the theory of teacher education in modern Japanese pedagogy, which can be easily confirmed through the research system of educational thought based on the purpose and method of education. Park Jong-Hong's study of educational thought through the analysis of Toegye’s Text earned a special academic status at that time. However, Park Jong-Hong, who experienced the reality of colonial education more than anyone else while working as a teacher at Daegu Higher Common School, did not mention the reality of colonial education nor any political and social repercussions derived from colonial power. It can be said that Park Jong-Hong's study on Toegye was conducted within the scope of the application of the epistemological violence and the ethical despotism by colonial power. This means that Park Jong-Hong served silently in colonial education, which created a system-conforming people at that time. When we can check Park Jong-Hong's Toegye study precisely while paying attention to the above problems, we can read accurately about the nature of Toegyehak.
