ABSTRACT

Park Se-dang has been regarded as an anti-Zhu xi or de-Zhu xi scholar. the sabyeonrok was treated as the supporting material for this assessment, and the Daehaksabyeonrok is the most prominent. Recently, however, several researchers presented a different view from previous assessments based on their careful analysis of Daehaksabyeonrok. Their point of view is that Park se-dang was only trying to point out and supplement the problems of Zhu xi's explanatory notes, but he was not critical of the overall theory of Zhu xi. This paper was designed to make a correct assessment of Park Se-dang by analyzing and reviewing his interpretation of the ‘Gaining knowledge by the study of things’(格物致知) on the Daehaksabyeonrok. On examination, there was no evidence that Park Se-dang would be judged as aan anti-Zhu xi or de-Zhu xi scholar, at least in his interpretation of the ‘Gaining knowledge by the study of things’ which appeared in Daehaksabyeonrok. Not only was I unable to find a case in Daehaksabyeonrok in denying the Zhu xi's philosophical theoretical system itself, but I also confirmed that he could appreciate Zhu xi's academic achievements as highly as anyone else. Park Se-dang raised a critical objection through Daehaksabyeonrok because he wanted to make it clear that Zhu xi's explanation of the ‘Gaining knowledge by the study of things’ was not appropriate as a explanatory note of the Great Learning(大學).
