  • A Theological Analysis of the Non-Church Movement in Korea with a Special Reference to the Formation of Its Spirituality
    A THEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NON-CHURCH MOVEMENT IN KOREA WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE FORMATION OF ITS SPIRITUALITY by SUN CHAE HWANG A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study provides a new theological approach for interpreting the Non- Church Movement (NCM) in Korea. Previous studies have been written from a historical perspective. Therefore, an examination of the spirituality and characteristics of the NCM from a theological standpoint is a new approach. The present study investigates the connection between the NCM and Confucianism. It attempts to highlight the influence of Confucian spirituality on the NCM, in particular the Confucian tradition of learning. It also examines the link between the NCM and Quakerism, in particular the influence of Quaker ecclesiology on the NCM. This too has not been examined in previous studies. The thesis argues that the theological roots of NCM ecclesiology lie in the relatively flat ecclesiology of the Quaker movement in the USA.

    Asia-Pacific Economic and Business History Conference, Berkeley, 2011 (Feb. 18-20): Preliminary Draft Institutional Differences and the Great Divergence:* Comparison of Joseon Kingdom with the Great Britain Soh, ByungHee Professor of Economics Kookmin University, Seoul, Korea e-mail: [email protected] Abstract If modern Koreans in the 20th century could achieve a remarkable economic growth through industrialization, why couldn’t their ancestors in Joseon Kingdom in early modern period achieve an industrial revolution at that time? This is the fundamental question of this paper. There existed several social and institutional constraints in Joseon Kingdom (1392-1897 A.D.) in the 17th through 19th centuries that made her industrial development impossible. The strictly defined social classes and the ideology of the ruling class deprived Joseon Kingdom of the entrepreneurial spirit and the incentives to invent new technology necessary for industrial development. Markets and foreign trades were limited and money was not used in transaction until late 17th century. Technicians and engineers were held in low social esteem and there was no patent to protect an inventor’s right. The education of Confucian ethical codes was intended to inculcate loyalty to the ruling class Yangban and the King. The only way to get out of the hard commoner’s life was to pass the national civil service examination to become a scholar-bureaucrat. Joseon Kingdom was a tributary country to Qing Dynasty and as such it had to be careful about technological and industrial development not to arouse suspicion from Qing. Joseon was not an incentivized society while the Great Britain was an incentivized society that was conducive to Industrial Revolution.

  • Comparison Between Confucian Democracy of Dasan Jeong Yak-Yong and Modern Democracy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
    Korea Journal, vol. 57, no. 1 (spring 2017): 153–174. © Korean National Commission for UNESCO, 2017 Comparison between Confucian Democracy of Dasan Jeong Yak-yong and Modern Democracy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau YI Jongwoo Abstract One salient feature of modern democracy is that people elect their head of state, either directly or indirectly. This popular democracy is the result of revolutions in England, the USA, and France. However, this feature is also present in Confucian democracy as assert- ed by the Korean thinker Dasan Jeong Yak-yong. As such, this article presents a compara- tive analysis of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a founding framer of modern democracy, and Dasan, a Korean Confucian and democratic thinker. Rousseau argued that the people had the right to elect their sovereign directly and dismiss him if he harmed peace and equality in the city-state (in this case, Geneva). However, Dasan claimed that lords cho- sen by the people had the right to elect the ruler and remove or even execute a tyrant if it were justified. Although Dasan and Rousseau did not influence each other, they made the common argument that the people had a right to elect and remove their chief. Rousseau stated that the people could elect their ruler directly, but that they should remove that ruler in a peaceful way through an assembly. Dasan suggested that the people elect their ruler indirectly and remove a tyrant through justified revolution. Their respective concep- tions of democracy both presuppose that the ruler should act on behalf of the people. Thus, this article analyzes the claims of these two thinkers when a ruler causes misery to the people.

  • Korean Conceptual History and Modern Paradigm 韓國的概念史
    東亞觀念史集刊 第二期 2012 年 6 月 頁429-448 Korean Conceptual History and Modern Paradigm 韓國的概念史研究和近代範例 * Lee Kyung-ku 李 坰 丘 1. Introduction Conceptual history, first proposed by the German historian Reinhart Koselleck, began with the critical self-examination of the modern history of Germany, taking Western Europe as its model. Koselleck’s main work focused on exploring and interpreting the mobile meanings of the very concepts that had changed the European traditional worldview and its 1 symbolic system. Naturally, there is some doubt about applying this method of research to the non-Western world, given its European, or more specifically, 2 German origin. Conceptual history, however, enables us to reveal the * HK professor of Hallym Academy of Sciences at Hallym University. 1 Inho Na, What is Conceptual History?

  • New Old Foundations for Confucian Ethical Philosophy
    New Old Foundations for Confucian Ethical Philosophy: Itō Jinsai 伊藤 仁斎 (1627 –1705), Dai Zhen (戴震) (1722-1776), and Jeong Yakyong (丁若鏞 ) (1762–1836) Philip J. Ivanhoe City University of Hong Kong (30 March 2013) I. Introduction1 One of the most prominent features of neo-Confucian philosophy during the Song-Ming Period is its complex metaphysical foundation. While there is variation among the different “schools” of neo-Confucianism, to a large extent they share a metaphysical view of the world in which “principles” (li 理) combine with an inherently lively but material element called qi 氣 to produce and sustain the actual world in which we live. In regard to ethics, the interplay between li and qi gives shape and direction to neo-Confucian accounts of the nature of morality, explanations of virtue and human character, and theories concerning how to cultivate the self; indeed, such theories about li and qi play a crucial role in conceptions of what a self is. In the 18th century a trio of thinkers2 in Japan, China, and Korea quite independently offered trenchant criticisms of this general account, especially in the form it took within the orthodox Cheng-Zhu 1 This work was supported by a grant from The Academy of Korean Studies funded by the Korean Government (MEST) (AKS-2011-AAA-2102).

  • Confucian Rationality and Political Modernity in Traditional Korea
    Too Rational To Be Modernized? Confucian Rationality and Political Modernity in Traditional Korea Kim Sungmoon This essay argues that the unique mode of rationality in Confucian politics and its various ethico-political practices prevented the Korean Confucian state from becoming a western-style modern state. Drawing on Max Weber’s sociology of ideas and ideal interests, I characterize the Weberian concept of rationality as a dynamic relation between ideas and interests and understand their relation- ship as mutually constitutive. I show how Confucian rationality became insti- tutionalized through the tension between Princely-Line (monarchical power) and Sagely-Line (bureaucratic power) through various symbolic, rhetorical, and ritualistic practices, and how these practices reformulated their own cultur- al structure, making it viable, and thus preventing it from transforming into a qualitatively different form. In order to do so, the essay focuses on the politics of sagacity of King Jeongjo, eighteenth-century Korean monarch, and the reli- gious persecution of 1801 that ensued after his sudden death. Keywords: Confucian rationality, modern state, ideal interests, Princely-Line, Sagely-Line, King Jeongjo Introduction It has long been questioned why Confucian states failed to be transformed into a modern state in their own right (Levenson 1968). “Modern state” is defined as a centralized territorial state built on national citizenship (Greenfeld 1992; Poggi 1978; Rae 2002; Tilly 1975). Institutionally it must be composed of a well-orga- nized bureaucracy, a formal legal system, and political organizations to check The Review of Korean Studies Volume 9 Number 4 (December 2006) : 135-168 © 2006 by The Academy of Korean Studies.
