『논어(論語)』古注를 통해 본 『논어(論語)』경문(經文)의 해석학적 이해 = Analytical understanding of the Confucian scripture, 『the Analects of Confucius』, through old annotations of 『the Analects of Confucius』

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This thesis has been written to offer a new method and viewpoint of the study on the Confucian classics. There is no denying the fact that till now the studies on the Confucian classics in South Korea have obtained many good results mainly in the field of the study of adminstration, or at least in the domain of philosophy. However, the research activities for analytical understanding of Confucian classics, one of the fields of the study on Confucian classics, have been not so energetic. So I became interested in the undeveloped field of study on Confucian classics and that`s why I choose the text of the Analects of Confucius as the subject of my study. As an ancient classic written in dialogue, the Analects of Confucius which is one of the Four Books can be analyzed diversely by necessity. But, up to the present, Korean researchers have digged into just the annotations of Chu Hsi on the text. So I have written this thesis with the view of saying that it`s not the only key to the analysis of the Analects of Confucius to rely on Chu Hsi`s explanation and viewpoint. For this reason, on the basis of not only Chu Hsi`s analysis, but also other old annotations of the Analects of Confucius, especially of Chinese Han and Tang dynasty, I have studied the different analytical viewpoints of the text. I think this thesis would provide a momentum for judging Confucius and his students, the main characters of 『the Analects of Confucius』 by new sight. In conclusion, it is to be desired that this writing will be any service to younger students who want to break new ground in the analytical understanding of Confucian scriptures.
