  • The purpose of this study is to examine the historical consciousness and view of the three religions (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism) of Won Cheon Seok who lived a period of historical transition from the end of the Goryeo Dynasty to the early Joseon Dynasty. Actively speaking for the public in his time and having the same attitude as the Neo-Confucian scholars in the end of Goryeo Dynasty, he kept criticizing the abuse of the power by powerful families who made the people fall into a state of distress and misery. He believed the dispatch of troops to conquer the Yodong region as a great opportunity to boost the valiant spirit of his country; however, the reality was quite opposite to his expectation as Lee Seong Gye had withdrawn the army troops at the Wihwado causing a great risk to his country. He took a very hard line stance against what Lee Seong Gye did. Although he was a Confucian scholar, he did not ignore Buddhism and Taoism and understood that after all the three religions were based on the same principle. His deep understanding of Buddhism and Taoism as well as Confucianism helped him to make sense of Confucianism even further. He was able to sublimate the worldly anguish coming from the Confucian thinking system by indulging himself deeply into the world view of Buddhism and Taoism. In the end, his view on the three religions was based on the idea that they taught the same principle. His view of the three religions with transactional features has a huge implication for the contemporary society in which various values and multiple cultures coexist and have more common grounds.

  • In this essay, following final conclusions have been drawn by analyzing medical ideology and research system of Yi cheon in Yi hak yip mun("醫學入門"). Firstly, even though the existing medical history researchers are not noting the system of Yi-cheon's medical ideology, this essay has proved the man as a doctor who succeeded the (main system) based on the content of Yi-hak-yip-mun("醫學入門") by Ju-Dan-Gae(朱丹溪). The outline of this proof is as follows. 1. Those doctors who had actively researched in Myung era(明代), were basically taking over the medical studies and result of Gum-Won era(金元代). However, depending on whose theory is to be followed, the followers are largely divided into two groups of Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派) and On-Boe Academics(溫補學派). In addition, both Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派) and On-Boe Academics(溫補學派) hold contradictory ideologies to that of the main medical system. In Yi-hak-yip-mun("醫學入門"), Yi-cheon(李?) ties The Text of Whang-Jae-Nae-Kyung("黃帝內經"), Jang-Jung-Kyung(張仲景), Yu-Ha-Gun(劉河間), Yi-Dong-Won(李東垣), Ju-Dan-Gae(朱丹溪) into one pedigree. With regard to the main system, he especially marks Ju-Dan-Gae(朱丹溪) for his efforts in gathering various medical theories into a large compilement. 2. When Yi-Cheon(李?) was writing Yi-Hak-Yip-Mun("醫學入門"), he made references to various medical publishings, among those book which he had utilized, books by Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派) had affected him more than anything else in terms of both quality and quantity. 3. Yi-Cheon(李?)'s "Congested Phlegm Theory(痰鬱論)" had succeeded "Congested Phlegm Theory(痰鬱論) of Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派). His Yi-Hak-Yip-Mun("醫學入門"), carries a more complete form of "Congested Phlegm Theroy(痰鬱論) which was made into a more systemic and widely applicable method which was by Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派). Secondly, Yi-Hak-Yip-Mun("醫學入門"), is a medical book which was written in the process of systemic reorganization of medical theories of various academic parties in Myung 명 era. Since this process was hearing its completion in the period of Yi-Cheon(李?), he chose specific ways of reshuffling, whilst seeking ways to efficiently utilizing existing medical information . He provided a standard to specific ways. He rearranged the existing medical theories based upon these standards. He also contributed to clinical medicine by providing description of symptoms focused upon the symptoms differentiated In Conclusion, Yi-Hak-Yip-Mun("醫學入門") holds systematic medical information which was developed by Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派). Also, Yi-Cheon(李?) uniformly classified the clinical experiences of existing Ju-Dan-Gae Academics(丹溪學派). He had contributed in the clinical use of Ju-Dan-Gae Academic(丹溪學派)'s clinical experience by providing main points from differentiation of symptoms.
