周易의 世界觀

The World-View of I-Ching

The main concern of the confucianism has been the living of human being and humanity living and the method in solving the problem is the establishment of the ideal society through the self-perfection[修已治人]. But it doesn’t mean that there was no world-view. The most important textbook is the Book of Change[周易, I-Chin] The poupose of this article is to analize the world-view of I-Ching. First, I focused my attention on the relationship between Heaven and Man[天人關係]. The achievement of the Comprensive harmony between Heaven and Man is the basic theme. Secondly I explain the role of human being in the world. In I-Ching human being, who can completly fulfile his nature, can participate in the cosmic creation. Then as a co-creator, he can form a trinity with heaven and earth. Finally I explanied the understanding of the real world as the basic ground of the world-view. The contents of this part are the yin-yang ideology[陰陽論] and the three essencial forces ideology[三才論].
