In this article, I intend to try to suggest the more persuasive answer to the basic practical philosophical question 'Does Ilminism meet the qualifying conditions of the genuine spontaneous practical philosophy?' through various social philosophical arguments about it. For that purpose, I carry out the detailed work to examine critically main forms and mattes in the system of Ahn's Ilminsim focused on the three dimensions of the 'establishment', 'contents', and 'role' of theory. And based on the normative and practical philosophical judgement about the 'decisive' limits and problems that is revealed through such the work, the tentative answer which I propose in relation with that question whether Ilminism fully satisfies the qualifying conditions of spontaneous practical philosophy in its truest sense or not is 'No.' At this time, decisive limits and problems refer to fatal main factors which prevent Iminism from gaining the title as a practical philosophy in its truest sense.
