소백(小栢) 안달삼(安達三)의 교유와 그 의미 = The Academic Networks of Sobaek An Dal-Sam and their Implications

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper looks at the academic position of Sobaek Ahn Dal-Sam (小栢安達三), native to Jeju (1837-1886) by examining his life course and academic networks. Ahn Dal-Sam has not been known to the academia so that it is necessary to look at his life course first. He was born in Cho-Cheon in Jeju in which a port was famous as a site for diverse ranged information to flow through between the island and the mainland of Korea. He came from the family which knows well to the information from the mainland; and he grew up in the family which is well equipped with Confucius knowledge. This is quite unusual in Jeju at that time. Next, I examined the book of Ahn Dal-Sam, Sobaekcheosayugo and traced his role and standing in the relevant academic circle by focusing upon his academic networks. For his academic networking, I focused upon his exchange with Nosa Ki Jeong-Jin and Myunam Choi Ik-Hyun.According to the book, Ahn Dal-Sam met Nosa Ki Jeong-Jin three times in his life. On the first meeting, the two were a professor and a student; and he further exchanged meetings with academics that are close to Nosa and his students. For the third meeting, his father Boohae Ahn Byung-Taekcame along with him in order to meet Nosa Ki Cheong-Jin in the mainland. Ahn Dal-Sam first met Myunam Choi-Ik Hyun during his exile period to Jeju. Choi Ik-Hyun came to know the writings of Ki Jeong-Jin through Ahn Dal-Sam, for which he was greatly impressed ; and later on after completing his exile term in Jeju, he made a visit to Ki Jeong-Jin himself. By this visit, the academic exchange of the Nosa Circle and the Hwaseo Circle began; and afterwards the exchange of meetings expanded gradually. It can be said that Ahn Dal-Sam was instrumental in connecting the two academic circles and this points out his role and standing in the academia. It is also meaningful and characteristic that it is in Jeju that the interchange of the two academic circles were made. Furthermore, the two academic circles were reproduced and expanded by Ahn Byung-Taek, the son of Ahn Dal-Sam, which also holds significant implications.
