In this paper, we will try to comparative study of though between Chung Chedu and Zhuxi Scholars in Chosun dynasty. Especcially, examining each thought's main characteristic, distinction, this paper calls attenation to the structural aspects of their Mind[心]. This in foundation, the present study tried to examine the view of Yang-ming's Learning in The confucianist for the latter period of Chosun.
This study is what surveyed the view of Yangming's Learning in The confucianist for the latter period of Chosun. The study is what examined into the critical contents and its philosophical characteristics for Chu shi's Philosophy in Hagok. Chung Chedu's philosophically problematic consciousness is taking root in the critical recognition against reality at that time.
For this first of all, it analyzed the tendency of existing studies on the correlation between Neo-Confucianism and Yang-ming's Learning in the Chosun Dynasty, and pointed out its significance and limitations. Its have significance in a sense that tried to seek for the foundation that can positively interpret the role and function of Yang-ming's Learning in the history og Chosun thought.
Yang-ming's Learning was a trend of thought in Chosun and Ming Dynasty. It is generally accepted that Neo-Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty went through transition from the learning of principle[理學] to the learning of mind[心學] but Neo-Confucianism in the Chosun Dynasty maintained the trend of the learning of principle from its early period to the end. Because of this, people often discuss the closedness and narrowness of Chosun Neo-Confucianism as a philosophy. However, the present study attempted to show that Neo-Confucians in the mid Chosen Dynasty did not lack the consciousness or methods of mind scholars in the Ming Dynasty but such problems had already been raised inside and efforts had been made to overcome the problems. For this, we examined agreements and conflicts among Zhuxi Scholars, Yang-ming's Scholars. With this study, an aspect fo Neo-Confucianism in the last Chosun Dynasty was illuminated.
A comparison is necessary to reveal the characteristics of Korean Hsing-lihsi..., different from the Chinese, and the process of its individual development, to know the possibility of Toegye's acceptance of Yang-ming Learning in his criticism on it. It is also important to study the reason for regarding Yang-ming as heterodox under the influence of Toegye and the possibility of Yang-ming scholars' development of Zhuxi's philosophy from the perspective of Yang-ming Learning.
To do so, we come to know Chung Chedu's criticism of Zhuxi's philosophy and the characteristics of Hagog Mind & Heart Learning and Zhuxi Scholars criticism of Yang-ming Learning and the characteristics of Mind & Heart Learning.
Then we have to consider the influences of criticism of Yang-ming Learning and The Chosun confucianist's Mind & Heart Learning upon the development of Korean Confucianism. It will contribute to further studies about Korean Confucianism's different development from the Chinese, the similarities and differences of Korea Zhuzi's Learning and Yangming's Learning, the reason that Korean confucianism developed with Hsin-hsing lun as its core, and the influence of Yang-ming's Learning on The Chosun confucianist.
Korean Yang-ming scholars accepted Yang-ming to resolve the problems of their time by their own will and judgment. they creates Korean Yang-ming Studies out of it. In the of being critical against Yangming's Learning and of being insufficient in the understanding about the basic theory of Yangming's Learning, it is a matter that the characteristics of the thinking in Yangming's Learning appear relatively much in The Chosun confucianist.
