This thesis is about academic view of the world from Dong-Ju Seong, Je-won(1506-1559). We could investigate the confucian’s philosophy by approaching various aspects. One of the answers when we ask philosophical ideology of Seong, Je-won is that he set the foundation of philosophy from his life.
As considering Seong, Je-won life and poetry, I focus on how he understood human and the world at that time, although he was in seclusion. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a model of his thoughts due to the fact that his argument and writing were not left, With interaction with scholars of the day and tombstones left, we would imagine his view of thoughts. He sought strict self-discipline as living in seclusion, and showed his sincerity and statement by poetry and his life itself. It means his life can be explained by the nature and universe through his poetry.
He lived apart from messy life, and reached to psychological stage as being familiar with nature and poetry, which shows not only philosophical nostalgia also his philosophical life. To conclude, Seong, Je-won interacted with human and nature as composing a poem, across the ages and in all countries of the world.
