하늘, 이단, 지도의 앎: 한국의 자생적 근대성과 종교

Abstract

Native Modernity and Religion in Korea The Knowledge of Hanul(Heaven), Heresy, and Map ᅳ Park , Kyu^T ae Professor Department of Religious Studies Hanyang University Almost all the discourses regarding the possibility of native modernity in Korea may be merely a map. But map is noc territory. For there might be lots of gaps or incongruities between a map and an actual topography. Further, map is not territory either in other meaning. A map differs from the territory which dominates as well as fixes everything with only one premise or entrance. For it has a great variety of entrances and is opened at every direction. Hence we are allowed to imagine not only the heretical desire but also the plateau of Hanul(天,heaven). First of all, this paper will examine a clue to the possibility of native modernity in Korea by reviewing the historical meaning of Hwaseong(華 in Suwon(水原) and especially a dialogue between Jeong Yak-ytmg(丁若鏡 1762-1836), a famous Confucian thinker and practitioner of his time and King Jeongjo(正祖,1776-1800). In the second place, the heretical desire of Korean Confucianism, Seohak(西學,Catholicism), Donghak(東學,Eastern Learning) in the late Chosun(朝齡 Dynasty will be pursued. Thus while the heretical desire of the Korean Catholic was the one chat longed for the transcendental, personified H a n u l (^ i) “as a greater system,” the orthodox school of Korean Confucianism had a strong tendency to defense the immanent, metaphysical, and moral Hanul(大M). On the contrary, people in general wanted the very Hanul which could be touched at hand. 138 종교연구 As a conclusion, this paper still sees prospect of the native modernity in the future by the anamnesia for the universal Hanul, on which all of them among Korean Confucianism, Seohak, and Donghak so commonly rested.
