AB - One of the tasks which have been taken most seriously in the tradition of Chinese and Korean ethics is to answer the practical question how people can be made to take as many moral choices as possible. To do so the philosophers in ancient China and Chosun felt need to look into the human nature. This paper first overviews the theories of human nature by some of prominent philosophers including Mensius and Zhu Xi(朱熹) in China and how different Jeong Yak-yong’s theory in which the concepts of moral sentiments and ‘Kwon-hyung’(權衡) play a pivotal role is from them. Secondly, it shows it was one of Jeong Yak-yong’s main intentions in his theory of human nature to make it possible to hold someone morally responsible for the acts he freely does. Lastly, it proves that Jeong Yak-yong’s theory actually failed to achieve his goal, since it did not fall short of successfully accommodating the concepts of moral sentiments and Kwon-hyung.
