| 摘要 | "Korean philosophy” or “Korean thought” emerged as an anti-colonial concept to establish the cultural identity of an oppressed nation. Starting in the 1930s, interest in Shirhak, presented as a “Korean” Confucian tradition analogous to the Enlightenment tradition of the West, typified this nationalist undertaking. For example, in studies of Chŏng Yak-yong, it became a core controversy whether Shirhak thinkers sought to “recover" or “modernize” ancient learning. In this context, Pak Chonghong, a post-war intellectual, is credited with elevating Korean thought to the level of a “valid discipline”while at the same time heeding the nationalist call. But the scope of Korean thought set by Pak has been challenged and broadened to include a more diverse representation of cultural traces from the past. New archetypes of Korean thought have gained currency, from the philosophy of T’oegye and Wonhyo as proud national assets, to Shamanism and folk beliefs as sources of Korean creativity. All these claims must be carefully contextualized. What is of interest is not that comparisons of Shirhak to Western Enlightenment are still prevalent, but how Western models were adapted to narrate the distinctiveness of the development of Korean thought. This paper will show how perceptions and agendas within the field of Korean philosophy have changed in response to both state and public pressures to identify an indigenous national philosophy and a uniquely Korean tradition. |
