This study investigates the understanding of education dominated in Korean traditional education, in which Confucian classics play a major role. It is based on the relationship between humanity and emotion. The first part of this study shows that moral emotion is the criterion of humanity, focusing on the concept of ren (仁) of Confucius and four moral emotions of Mencius. The second part of this study focuses on Zhu Zi’s thoughts on the relation of mind, nature and emotion to show that emotion is the expression of human nature through the mind. This part also focuses on the Four-Seven debate between Confucian scholars of the Chosun dynasty in Korea. The third part of this study reveals that education in Korean Confucianism was self-cultivation to preserve the original state of mind that contains human nature and that self-controlling appearance of the body as a method of self-cultivation is meaningful for modern education. |
