EKP2: Formation of Korean Neo-Confucianism

In the “Exploration to Korean Philosophy” series, we will delve deeper into the subject matter than what was previously addressed in the courses “Introduction to Korean Philosophy and Culture (IKPC)” and “In Search for the Origins of Korean Philosophy (SOKP).” In EKP2, “Formation of “Korean” Neo-Confucianism,” is a course that zooms in on the era when Korean philosophy blossomed and looks into detailed topics. Here we will look at the debate between Buddhism and Confucianism, the diagrams that Koreans drew to capture the world and explore the inner self of humans, and the philosophy of salvation through the heart, which is the goal of these attempts.
