南冥의 理氣心性論 = Nammyeong's theory - The theory of the reason, spirtis, heart and nature

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nammyeong handed down three reason-spirits theory. There are the theory of reason- spirits, the theory of natural laws-spirits and moral laws-spirits.
In this part, on the one hand we can understand that Nammyeong insisted on differing between the reason of heaven and the reason of human. But the other hand he was willing to share them. He was willing to distinguish the natural laws of the side of ontology into the theory inborn nature's good of the theory what we should do.
His willing was not agreed with both nature laws and moral law but enlarged them to the point of view of inborn nature's good. At last he tried to reach oneness of heaven and humanity. This is coincidence the point of views fo Juhun's (a Chinese scholar) theory.
Nammyeong, in his book "Heart is connected nature and feeling" was willing to distinguish heart into nature and feelings. And them He thought that the nature is what didn't appear and the feeling is what appeared in human. He explained his theory put into the form of diagram as follows. He distinguished each of nature and feeling into reason and spirits.
The reason of nature is the origin of nature and the spirits of nature is the nature of disposition. The reason of feelings give out and become the origin of four affairs. The spirits of feeling give out and became seven feelings. Like this, It made sure that Nammyeong recognized the relationship of reason-spirits and nature-feelings systematically.
Also Nammyeong thought "It is desirable the case of giving out the reason of feelings. If not, in the case of giving out the spirits of feelings, It is necessary for everyone to be moderate."
Both trying to give out the reason of feeling constantly and trying to be moderate in the case of giving out the spirit of feelings were deeply related to Nammyeong's attitude. That is, everybody must have the heart of existence, make them grow up and have self-examination with an attitude of living and dying.
Like this, Nammyeong's theory didn't unfold his insist in detail. But he range extensively the literature connecting Song and Won Period(Ancient Chinese Dynasty)'s the theory of universe, the theory of heart-nature and the theory of cultivation mind. At last he made them his. We can understand it clearly in everything.
