마키아벨리와 율곡의 리더십 비교 - 군주론과 성학집요를 중심으로 = Comparison of N. Machiavelli's and Yulgok Yi I's Leadership - The Prince and Complete Compendia on Sage Learning

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper analyzes the leadership of Niccolo B. Machiavelli(1469~1527) and Yulgok Yi I(栗谷 李珥, 1536~1584) by comparing“The Prince(君主論)” and“Complete Compendia on Sage Learning(聖學輯要)”, two books dedicated to the Kings of Italy and Chosun. Machiavelli and Yi I, the greatest political philosophers of the West and the East, have in common that they dedicated their books to kings. The former is dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici in 1512 (published in 1532) whereas the latter is dedicated to king Seonjo(宣祖) of Chosun in 1575, both being political guides for the lords. This paper examines both books and finds that the former focuses power and efficiency of the prince while the latter emphasizes morality of the king based on trust between the king and his liegemen.
This research seeks to provide fundamental discussion needed to propose leadership model for contemporary Korea that complementarily combines morality and efficiency by comparing Machiavelli and Yi I’s understanding and ideal model of kings, and necessary virtues. First, this paper discusses the era when the two books were written and compare their respective motives and objectives. Second, this paper looks at the task they faced in the era and their understanding on how to approach and reform the tasks. Third, this paper compares the different understandings on the nation, prince, liegemen, and the people. Lastly, this paper compares Machiavelli’s efficient leader who achieves his goal by any means to Yi I’s moral leader that bases himself on trust of liegemen.
Despite contemporary Korean politics following modern western political system, Korean politicians are asked to maintain high standard of morality and integrity, the virtues of Confucianism. Considering the contemporary political-economical circumstance that requires effectiveness and efficiency, it suffices to propose a new form of leadership that complementarily combines the efficient leadership of Machiavelli and moral leadership of Yi I.
