이수광(李睟光, 1563-1628)의 이단관(異端觀)과 유교 의례(儀禮) 수용

Abstract

Yi Soo-kwang(李睟光) had a deep interest in Buddhism and Taoism, which had been on the reading list of intellectuals for a long time since the Joseon Dynasty. But His ideas are hierarchical in the sense of Confucianism in that Buddhism and Taoism are de- fined as heresy and searched for common points of Confucianism. His ideological intention was that many of the gentry in the middle of Joseon were seen in common. Yi Soo-kwang’s ideological intention was manifested by the ac- ceptance of Confucian rituals, because of the characteristics of Confucianism who tried to seek the way through rituals without a representative. He emphasized the gaining knowledge by the study of things through the recitations of 『Shimkyung(心經)』 and 『Geunsalog(近思錄)』, and insisted on the execution of 『Jujagalye(朱子家禮)』 as a basis for practicing Confucian rites. But he also worried about the compromise with the non-Confucian rituals that had long been influential and consistent with the recog- nition of the people. This implies the coexistence of different voi- ces insisting on the practice of Non-Confucian life and Confucian examples that prevailed in the middle of Joseon.
