This book explores Neo-Confucianism and its relationship to
politics by examining the life and work of the two iconic figures
of the Joseon dynasty Yi Hwang (1501-1570, Toegye) and Yi I
(1536-1584, Yulgok). Neo-Confucianism became state orthodoxy in
1392, and remained in place for over five centuries until the end
of the dynasty in 1910, thereby shaping the Korea of today. Toegye
and Yulgok founded the two main schools of Josean Neo-Confucianism,
which became the most dominant schools of thought in Korean
history. In shedding new light on the important relationship
between these two iconic figures, Hyoungchan Kim offers an
important new examination of Korea today, which will be essential
to those interested in the philosophy and history of Korea.
