AB - Yang Sung-ji is one of the standouts among scholar-officials from the early Chosun period. He is noted for being a Confucian scholar that does not befit later Chosun notions of a 'literati', being held in esteem by monarchs and regarded in a positive light during his lifetime, but whose reputation would suffer from the reign of King Sungjong and thereafter.
Yang Sung-ji believed that aemin(愛民), or the love of the people, should be the guiding purpose of politics and government. The actual method of implementing that love is called hungrijaehae(興利除害), or increasing benefits while negating harm, based on the semantic dichotomy of benefit and harm, which forms the backbone of his political thinking.
Such is the philosophical background allows Yang Sung-ji to posit 'sufficient food(足食)' and 'sufficient military(足兵)' as tangible policy goals. As the economy and military are real issues for any country, they are issues pertinent to every schools of thought concerned with building a rich country and a strong army (富國强兵), and not limited to Confucianism. Yet this perspective is intimately related to the idea of Rule of Might(覇道), an idea shunned by the mainstream of Confucianism, which became the main reason for its denigration by dominant Neoconfucian idealists during later part of Chosun.
The negative opinions against Yang Sung-ji in late Chosun notwithstanding, his ideas show us that philosophy of early Chosun scholar-officials concerning politics and government were discussed in a much more liberal atmosphere and were thus much more realistic. When it comes to adaptation of Confucianism and Neoconfucianism to Korea, it was during early Chosun that ideas tended to be closer to the real spirit of Confucianism. Late Chosun Neoconfucianism, on the other hand, can be criticized for subsuming realities of the people into their rigid ideology.
Yang Sung-ji thus provides us with a clear window for understanding how Confucianism was being accepted and interpreted during early Chosun dynasty.
