朝鮮實學家崔漢綺的氣學思想與數學思想
Abstract
朝鮮實學家崔漢綺（1803-1877）是朝鮮王朝末年一位相當獨特的實學家，本論文主要是致力於解讀他的一些生平著作，包括《氣學》、《神氣通》、《推測錄》、《運化測驗》、《明南樓隨錄》、《習算津筏》、《陸海法》、《心器圖說》、《人政》等書，從中分析他的思想，並加以整理出其中的結構。
為了瞭解崔漢綺的氣學觀，筆者主要是去解讀他的《氣學》、《神氣通》、《推測錄》、《運化測驗》、《明南樓隨錄》等氣學著作的內容。至於崔漢綺的數學思想之探討，筆者則選擇深入他的數學著作《習算津筏》，詳細討論他在書中所呈現的思想進路，進而歸納出崔的數學觀。另外，在本論文中，筆者也將利用一些篇幅來討論《陸海法》以及《心器圖說》，這兩本書的創作是奠基在明末耶穌會傳教士的著作上。換而言之，崔漢綺從傳入中國的「西學漢譯書籍」中吸取了一些學問，作為創作的「養分」。我們將觀察他是如何在前人的奠基上，加以融會「西學」的要素而創立自己的「氣學」。
此外，在崔的晚年，也是朝鮮社會從強硬實施鎖國政策轉為開化改革的變化時期。在筆者解讀他的晚期著作《人政》（1860）、《氣學》（1857）與《明南樓隨錄》（186?）等書之後，發現在社會思想上，崔漢綺是傾向主張開化改革的，這一點，筆者也將在本論文中一併作些討論。
The Korean Silhak 實學 (practical learning) scholar Choe Han-gi崔漢綺(1803-1877) is a special scholar among all Silhak scholars near the end of Choson Kingdom朝鮮王朝 (1392-1896). This paper aims to introduce and analyze his works in the whole life, such as the Ki Study 氣學, one of his most important writings, and to reveal his thoughts about “ki” 氣. I also do research on his two other books about ki, which are his early creations in 1836. One is the Shin Gitong神氣通, and the other is the Chuchuknok推測錄. As for Choe’s mathematical thought, I choose to analyze his mathematical text Seupsanjinfa習算津筏. This is the only one text among his manybooks that is related to mathematics. In this paper, I argue that his mathematical thought is developed from the aspect of his philosophical thought. All the texts mentioned in my dissertation are in the Collected Works of Myongnamnu明南樓全集, which were joined together and published in 1971. Moreover, I also introduce Choe’s scientific thought through his related creations. Tracing his scientific thought, I find that it is deeply influenced by Western science and technology. During the Ming dynasty in China, the Jesuits had brought both Christianity and Western science to China. Through the Chinese translations of scientific works and interpretations of Christianity, the knowledge was spread into Choson Korea in a short time. I also try to show how Choe Han-gi transformed the knowledge into his own and used it to create his new theory of ki.
