| Abstract | The purpose of this thesis claims the contribution of T‟oegye‟s Sacred Learning to Christian education in the twenty-first century. I introduce T‟oegye (退溪), a Neo-Confucian philosopher, whose Ten Diagrams on Sacred Learning (聖學十圖, Sŏng-Hak-Ship-To) embodies his life and philosophy. Due to cultural transference, I argue from my own translation of the Chinese original text into English and maintain that T‟oegye‟s Ten Diagrams on Sacred Learning depicts T‟oegye‟s anthropo-cosmic vision of educational philosophy that may significantly contribute to contemporary Christian education. In particular, I bring Maria Harris‟s Christian education theory briefly to demonstrate possible ways to strengthen Christian education. On the basis of T‟oegye‟s Neo-Confucian philosophy, I prove that his Neo-Confucian philosophy has three dimensions: personal, social, and cosmological. Regarding the personal dimension, I focus on aspects of transformative self-cultivation. In the social dimension, I pay attention to Korean Neo-Confucian reformations of social ethos and values and critique current educational values. I write separately about the Church in order to accentuate T‟oegye‟s contribution to Christian education and spiritual formation. In the cosmological dimension, I argue that Neo-Confucian cosmology is important for our present world‟s harmonious survival. |
