韓國儒學發生學及其對儒學國際化的啟示

The Development of Korean Confucianism and It's Inspiration toward Our Internationalization

韓國素稱「儒學優等生」。之所以是「優等生」是因為韓國儒學經歷了近兩千年的發生、發展過程，是中國本土以外與外域文化會通產生的新儒學。解讀韓國儒學對理解儒學國際化的進路具有理論意義與實踐意義。韓儒學從西元一世紀傳入韓半島，同韓國固有的樂感文化和天神信仰結合。從三國到統一新羅時期，韓國儒學與四世紀傳入的佛學以及道家、道教思想結合，穩固落著於韓國風土文化。高麗朝則是韓國儒學與佛學分道揚鑣期。儒學畢竟是哲學、社會思想。直到麗末朝鮮朝初，鄭道傳的批佛揚儒、朱子學傳入，揭開韓國儒學全盛期的開端，儒學最終成為占統治地位的社會意識形態。由於受韓國傳統和思維特質等深層文化影響，儒學最終翻新成十七世紀以後的實學。此期實學吸納了西方社會思想、科學技術思想，產生出民主、民權、社會改革等思想。韓國儒學以其獨特面貌，將韓國社會引向開化開港後的近代社會，制約了現代化的面貌。
