화서 이항노의 사상에 대하여(Ⅰ) = On the Yi, Hang-No Thought (1972∼1868)(Ⅰ)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The overtures which the Europeans made to Korea in the latter half of the 19th century were motivated by their worldwide quest for new markets for the products of the rapidly developing capitalistic system.
Korea's learned Confucianists, on the hasis of information obtained through Ch'ing China, conceived of the infiltration of European capitalist power as a potentially disruptive intrusion into the normal process of change in the Far East.
The ideology underlying the persecutions of Catholics in 1801 and 1839 provided a basis for these scholars to strengthen their alignment with nee-Confucian ethics, and they grew into kraut of heresy. A domestic incident which further intensified their antipathies was the closing of Seowon which the Prince Regent decreed in 1864. Thus deprived of their spiritual, political and financial strongholds, the Confucian intellectuals felt a need to strengthen their spiritual posture. Another factor conducive to general antiforeignism was the invasion of Korean waters by foreign fleets in 1866.
The invasion of the French fleet had powerful psychological effects. They stimulated Yi Hang-no to voice strong advocacy of repelling European capitalist encroachment. He called for political reform and stability, and reinforcement of Korea's national defense capability: his conclusion was that Europeanization of the country could be prevented by keeping capitalism out.
The logical conclusion of his proposal was the boycotting of European goods-Ms disciples and many Confucian scholars and thinkers affiliated with his school likewise called for the strengthening of the national defense posture in order to repel foreign invasion; their ideas lived on in the form of a determination to restore national rights. Furthermore, they brought their spirit to fulfillment on the basis of the concept of "knowledge and action". Here, we can find Yi Hangno's true character.
