Jeonwu (Chǒn Kanjae, 1841-1922) is a famous confucianist in late Joseon dynasty. He belongs to the school of Yul-Gok (栗谷). Kanjae strictly criticized other school's philosophy according to Yul-Gok's. Kanjae's main doctrines are “the doctrine of Xing-Zun-Xin-Bei (性尊心卑)” and “the doctrine of Xing-Shi-Xin-Di (性師心弟)”. These doctrines are inspired and derived from Zhu Zi's moral philosophy. Kanjae's interpretation of Zhu Zi's moral philosophy is, in the main, similar to Mr. Mou Tsung-san's. However, He regards Zhu Zi's moral philosophy as the orthodox of Confucianism. Kanjae's philosophical orientation of Zhu Zi is different from Mr. Mou's. Mr. Mou's analysis is: what Zhu Zi actually inherits is not the tradition of Confucius and Mencius, but another Confucianism of Cheng Yi. Based on this, Mr. Mou merely approves: the Confucianism that Zhu Zi enhances and glorifies is Cheng Yi's philosophy (別子為宗). According to my investigation, Kanjae's interpretation is on the solid basis of analysis and argument. Therefore, his interpretation can be seen as an important resource to clarify whether Zhu Zi's moral philosophy is the orthodox of Confucianism or not. We have reason to believe that to compare Kanjae's interpretation with Mr. Mou's is helpful for us to acquire further understanding of Zhu Zi's moral philosophy. |
