The present volume offers a fully annotated translation of the Chas?ngnok. Following a groundbreaking discussion of T'oegye's life and ideas according to the Chas?ngnok and his other major writings, it presents the core of his thought in six interrelated sections: ""Philosophy of Principle,"" ""Human Nature and Emotions,"" ""Against Buddhism and Daoism,"" ""True Learning,"" ""Self-Cultivation,"" and ""Reverence and Spiritual Cultivation."" The bibliography offers a current catalogue of primary sources and modern works in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and English. As the first comprehensive study of the Chas?ngnok, this book is a welcome addition to current literature on Korean classics and East Asian philosophy and religion. By presenting T'oegye's thought-provoking contributions, it sheds new light on the vitality of Confucian wisdom, thereby affording scholars and students with an excellent primary source for East Asian studies in general and Confucian studies in particular.
