Summary
This book presents Yi Hwang (15011570)better known by his pen name, ToegyeKoreas most eminent Confucian philosopher. It is a pioneering study of Toegyes moral and religious thought that discusses his holistic ideas and experiences as a scholar, thinker, and spiritual practitioner. This study includes Toegyes major biographies and letters as well as his famous Jaseongnok (Record of self-reflection) and Seonghak sipdo (Ten diagrams on sagely learning). Edward Chung explains key concepts, original quotations, annotated notes, and thought-provoking comments to bring this monumental thinker and his work to life. Chung also considers comparative and interreligious perspectives and their contemporary relevance. By offering groundbreaking insights into Neo-Confucianism, this book sheds fresh light on the breadth and depth of Toegyes ethics and spirituality, and is an important source for scholars and students in Korean and Confucian studies and comparative philosophy and religion. Edward Y.J. Chung is Asian Studies Director and Professor of Religious Studies at UPEI, Canada. He is the author of The Great Synthesis of Wang Yangming Neo-Confucianism in Korea (2020), A Korean Confucian Way of Life and Thought: The Chasnongnok by Yi Hwang (Toegye) (2016), and Korean Confucianism: Tradition and Modernity (2015).
