孔子의 禮ㆍ智 理論의 分析 = The Analysis of Confucius' Opinions in Propriety and Knowledge

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This essay aims at analysing Confucius' opinions in propriety and knowledge, and at examining what the purposes of these are. Confucius' opinions, unlike ancient Greek inquiry on Nature, grew as a result of deplorable conditions of the time. Then, primary concern was to restore a good society based on harmonious human relation. He, in order to establish social order, urged to realize a norm consciousness as the foundation of propriety. The propriety as a normative standard in society goes down an empty formality without all people's realizing the norm consciousness which is rooted in human's real character.
Human's real character by nature is a disposition to keep social order. By nature men are alike. Therefore, they can keep social order. However, they, in actual life, act without order. If all people have the disposition to keep social order, why do they act randomly in actual life? About such a question, Confucius replied that the behavior disturbing social order does not come from human's real character, but from a selfish desire.
Moreover, all people need understanding whether they have the moral knowledge in which to judge what is right and wrong. Some are born with the knowledge as the foundation of judging right behavior and wrong: some acquire the knowledge by study: and some gain the knowledge after a painful feeling of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Eventually, the meaning of these satements implies that all people have the moral capability of knowledge by nature. If so, how do they understand the moral ignorance in actual life? Aout this problem, they need to take the ways of inquiring into the moral knowledge. They know that the moral ignorance is resulted in the concealment of the moral knowledge.
By the understanding of such ways, they realize that they are moral-self. Here the moral perfection of self can be achieved.
In conclusion, Confucius' opinions in propriety and knowledge would be the way to overcome the defect in this age of machine.
