Seongho Yi Ik's New Approach to Zhijue(sic) and Weifa(sic): Stimulation by Western Learning and the Expansion of Confucianism

Title: Seongho Yi Ik's New Approach to Zhijue(sic) and Weifa(sic): Stimulation by Western Learning and the Expansion of Confucianism
Ewha Authors: 김선희
Abstract: This paper explores the 18th-century Joseon Confucian scholar Seongho (sic)Yi Ik's (sic) (1681 similar to 1763) theory on philosophical anthropology in the context of Confucianism through his theory of the heart-mind (sic)(sic). This study begins by examining which intellectual heritage he innovated, what intellectual resources he used in the process, and how his theories diverged from those of other Joseon Confucian scholars. Through Western learning books, Seongho obtained the rational soul theory and anatomical and physiological knowledge about the brain, based on which he reinterpreted the controversial Neo-Confucian concepts of zhijue (sic), and the Weifa-Yifa theories (sic). He acknowledged the primacy of the brain, which differs from the general principles of Neo-Confucianism. Seongho did not imbue zhijue itself with moral meaning, but considered the whole process of perception-recognition-judgment as the weifa state. At this point, yifa is determined by whether moral judgments are made. If yifa is the moment of moral judgment, the relationship between weifa and yifa must be regarded as the relationship between the operation of physical perception-cognition and rational judgment-moral practice. In Seongho's perspective, moral practice is not a process of static cultivation, but the result of active moral determination.

STATE SHINT? PROJECT FOR SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL COMMON GOOD
https://dspace.ewha.ac.kr/handle/2015.oak/263018
Title: STATE SHINT? PROJECT FOR SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL COMMON GOOD
Ewha Authors: 김병진
Abstract: In modern Japan, Shinto was defined as a culture rather than a religion to align the freedom of religion with the ideas of the nation-state, making it possible for Shinto to be presented to the public as an obligatory public moral and ritual guide. Katsuhiko Kakei, a professor of Constitutional Law at the Tokyo Imperial University, incorporated the spiritual tendency to depend on the Absolute into Shinto and changed it into a state-religion. The purpose of his project was to restore the spiritual common good of the Japanese, expand it into the social common good, and thereby pursue integral human development and prosperity. This research contributes to rethinking the religious power to promote sustainable prosperity.

Title: STATE SHINTŌ PROJECT FOR SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL COMMON GOOD
Ewha Authors: 김병진
Abstract: In modern Japan, Shintō was defined as a culture rather than a religion to align the freedom of religion with the ideas of the nation-state, making it possible for Shintō to be presented to the public as an obligatory public moral and ritual guide. Katsuhiko Kakei, a professor of Constitutional Law at the Tōkyō Imperial University, incorporated the spiritual tendency to depend on the Absolute into Shintō and changed it into a state-religion. The purpose of his project was to restore the spiritual common good of the Japanese, expand it into the social common good, and thereby pursue integral human development and prosperity.

Images of Tigers in Late Choson Stories: In Relation to the Ecological Crisis of Choson Tigers
https://dspace.ewha.ac.kr/handle/2015.oak/259629
Title: Images of Tigers in Late Choson Stories: In Relation to the Ecological Crisis of Choson Tigers
Ewha Authors: 김경미
Abstract: This study examines the images of tigers in late Choson stories as they relate to ecological changes during the late Choson period. As a popular literary topic, tigers have held various and sometimes conflicting roles, ranging from Heaven's sacred agents to brutal beasts. The increase in human population and the expansion of farmland caused the loss of tigers' habitats and narrowed their food sources, which eventually increased tiger-human encounters and intensified state-led tiger extermination policies. This study shows that the images of tigers generally shifted from formidable and mysterious beings to controllable, wounded, and even obedient animals over time. The frequent descriptions of tigers killed by women, tigers asking for people's help, and porridge-eating tigers in late Choson stories reflect people's modified view of tigers, even though actual tigers remained a threat during that period. A consideration of the ecological factors depicted in tiger stories over time suggests that changes in the societal point of view regarding these animals impact how tigers' characters were portrayed.
