ABSTRACT

Previous studies Dong-uibogam(東醫寶鑑) or Dong-uisusebowon(東醫壽世保元), Korean medical text written in the 16th/19th century, have focused mainly on his theories of Daoism and Neo-Confucianism or Post-Confucianism. This Study suggests that the Dong-uibogam and Dong-uisusebowon were the scholarly products of the Early Modern Neo-Confucians during the Joseon Dynasty period . These Early Modern Neo-Confucians ruled the dynasty rationally, and edited books on medical science, one of which were the Dong-uibogam or Dong-uisusebowon. In these books, religious aspects of Daoism was excluded because these elements were not in agreement with medical science or Neo-Confucianism. The Dong-uibogam and Dong-uisusebowon were also translated into the Korean vernacular script based on an obligation to govern the people. This was example of Confucian enlightenment which was Early Modernity of Dong-uibogam(東醫寶鑑) or Dong-uisusebowon(東醫壽世保元) thought.
