试论朝鲜实学文化及其特点

朝鲜实学是朝鲜李朝后期在特定历史背景下产生的一种进步社会思潮。朝鲜实学产生之初虽然不无中国的影响,但它的形成和发展却不像儒、佛、道那样直接从中国传入,而更多地是在朝鲜自己的历史与现实文化中产生和发展的。朝鲜实学的发展经历了初创期、鼎盛期、转型期三个阶段。朝鲜实学不论是在思想理论的深度和广度上,还是在实学思想家不断追求探索的努力程度上都走在同时代的中国和日本的前面,有其独特之处,成为朝鲜传统文化通向近代思想的桥梁。

Korea's Practical Learning Culture and Its Characteristics

Korea's practical learning is a progressive ideological trend in the late Yi Dynasty. At its initial stage, the trend is influenced by China, but on the whole, its formation and development are based on Korea's own history and realistic culture, though Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are directly introduced from China. Its development undergoes its initial, flourishing and transitional stages. In the meanwhile, Korea's practical learning, which shows its distinctiveness, surpasses China and Japan in the theoretical and ideological range and depth as well as the strenuous efforts by those thinkers, so that it becomes a bridge between traditional Korean culture and modern ideology.
