목산(木山) 이기경(李基敬)의 삶과 사상(思想)에 대한 일고(一攷) = A Study on the Life and Idea of Lee Gi-gyoung

국문 초록 (Abstract)

Moksan(木山) Lee Gi-gyoung(李基敬)이 learned from Do-am Lee Jae. He passed Gwa-geo(科擧: the highest civil service examination) and worked as a civil servant with a firm political idea of his own, which sometimes caused the king to be angry with him and him to be banished several times. He wrote journal always no matter where he was: in the central government or in his banished sites. He wrote it not only for just recording but for trying to fulfill his sense of responsibility while in government and for being enlightened of himself while in banished sites. He could show his own political viewpoint so strongly that he was banished since he was based on the theory of HwangGeukTangPyeong(皇極蕩平), which told kings to be neither inclined nor unfair to a certain political idea as if they should be ``HwangGeuk`` that was the center of the universe. His theory of Ri(理) and Gi(氣) based on Neo-Confucianism was for interchange between Ri and Gi. His study on the theory of InMulSeongDongYi 人物性同異: People and thing are same and different) made him have the academic attitude not inclined to a certain political party only, referring to its idea: ``Different while same``. He showed such political idea to have the Neo-Confucianism arguments of that time interchange each other by making them generalized and compromised into one with such arguments sublated.
