Korea-Japan Confucian Studies Series, Volume I

Itō Jinsai (1627-1705) and Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1836): Mencius' Philosophy of Qi and Moral Practice

The Korea-Japan Confucian Studies Series is founded on the conviction that the comparative study of Korean and Japanese Confucianism deserves a more prominent place within global scholarship. Although Confucian scholars in Tokugawa Japan and Joseon Korea studied many of the same canonical texts-including the Analects, the Mencius, the writings of Zhu Xi, and works on ritual, self-cultivation, and governance-they developed distinct philosophical traditions shaped by different historical, political, and intellectual circumstances. Shared concepts such as principle (li), qi, mind, ritual, and moral cultivation acquired different meanings as they were interpreted within their respective traditions.
