Études de la sagesse en dix diagrammes
Hwang Yi - Collection Patrimoines - orient
Résumé
--
This book brings us the first translation into the French language of a text written in the 16th century by Yi Hwang, considered to be the most prominent of Korea's Confucianists. A scholar in search of wisdom and a civil servant who reached the highest positions, Yi Hwang penned this treatise in ten diagrams, designed to be transcribed onto screens that would guide the young king's meditation on "good governance". But they also speak to all those who have to direct their lives in the same way that a sovereign governs his kingdom. This book gives a remarkable synthesis of Korean Confucianism and other varieties. It presents many advantages. On the one hand, it gives readers access to a philosophy that animated a debate in Korea on the foundations of Confucianism and held sway until modern times, which enables us to understand the axes of Korean culture, past and present. On the other, its subject recalls the "Mirrors of princes" written in Europe at the same time, in contradiction with the Machiavellian spirit. Finally, because of its respect for nature and mankind, it appears to be astonishingly contemporary, like a call from a far-off world to our world today. This philosophy is currently undergoing revival in Korea. "Études de la sagesse en dix diagrammes" aims to participate in that rebirth.
