Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Nammyeong Jo Sik ( , 1501-1572): Nammyeong, though a contemporary of Toegye, pursued a different path. His thought is marked less by systematic metaphysics and more by an unwavering commitment to moral integrity () and principled action. Rejecting the political corruption of his day, he cultivated a rigorous ethic of sincerity and righteousness that later generations of Confucian loyalists found deeply compelling. His legacy is felt most strongly in periods of moral and political upheaval.This volume examines the thought of Nammyeong Jo Sik, a figure often remembered as a reclusive teacher or uncompromising remonstrant. While such images capture aspects of his life, they do not fully account for the philosophical coherence of his work. His writings articulate a distinctive vision of moral discipline, political judgment, and self-cultivation that shaped the southeastern scholarly tradition of Korean Neo-Confucianism.Nammyeong left no systematic treatises; his corpus, preserved in the Nammyeong jip, consists largely of memorials, letters, and pedagogical reflections. For this reason, he is sometimes regarded as a moral activist rather than a philosopher. This study challenges that view. Across diverse genres, his reflections on reverence, righteousness, and mind form an integrated framework in which cosmology, moral psychology, and political order are inseparable.Adopting a text-centered approach, this book traces recurring conceptual patterns within their historical context, with particular attention to the relation between inner discipline and political authority. Nammyeong's severity emerges not as temperament, but as principle: a conviction that moral vigilance is the ground of legitimate rule. In this light, even his withdrawal from office appears as an effort to preserve moral integrity within public life. Nammyeong Jo Sik championed moral integrity, self-discipline, and principled action, offering enduring insights into Korean Neo-Confucianism, ethics, and leadership. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Ondol Civilization: The Warmth Beneath Korean Life and Culture explores the long, rich relationship between Korea's underfloor heating system (ondol), traditional home design, and daily social life.The global significance of this technology was underscored in the 1910s when American architect Frank Lloyd Wright encountered a heated "Korean room" in Tokyo. Deeply impressed by its invisible, uniform warmth, he adapted the concept into modern radiant floor heating in Western architecture. For Koreans, however, ondol was never just a clever heating technique; it was the foundation of family life.How Ondol Shaped Daily LifeA traditional ondol system used an outdoor firebox to channel heat and smoke through stone flues beneath the floor before escaping a chimney. A single fire cooked meals while storing long-lasting thermal energy underfoot. This simple innovation transformed how living space was used: Spatial Flexibility: Because the floor was warm, shoes were left at the door. Minimalist, low furnishings allowed one room to seamlessly shift between a dining area, study, family room, and bedroom.Seasonal Rhythm: Families gathered in breezy, elevated wooden halls during summer and retreated to snug ondol rooms in winter.Social Ethics: The warmest spot on the floor was instinctively given to elders, guests, mothers after childbirth, or the sick-teaching children respect, hospitality, and Confucian values through ordinary daily habits.Modern Evolution & HeritageIn 2018, the South Korean government designated "Ondol Culture" as National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 135. Today, modern Korean homes use hot-water pipes under concrete instead of fireboxes and stone flues. While modern boilers preserve the physical comfort of warm floors, the traditional masonry skills, firebox rituals, and seasonal household customs are gradually disappearing.Ultimately, Ondol Civilization shows how a simple solution to harsh winters quietly evolved into a way of dwelling. Safeguarding it requires preserving not just excavated flues and stone structures, but the human memories, hospitality, and cultural habits born above the warm floor. Ondol Civilization shows how Korea's underfloor heating shaped homes, values, and daily life. Frank Lloyd Wright brought it West, while Korea named it Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 135-a winter fix turned way of dwelling. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Korea-Japan Confucian Studies Series, Volume IIto Jinsai (1627-1705) and Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1836): Mencius' Philosophy of Qi and Moral PracticeThe Korea-Japan Confucian Studies Series is founded on the conviction that the comparative study of Korean and Japanese Confucianism deserves a more prominent place within global scholarship. Although Confucian scholars in Tokugawa Japan and Joseon Korea studied many of the same canonical texts-including the Analects, the Mencius, the writings of Zhu Xi, and works on ritual, self-cultivation, and governance-they developed distinct philosophical traditions shaped by different historical, political, and intellectual circumstances. Shared concepts such as principle (li), qi, mind, ritual, and moral cultivation acquired different meanings as they were interpreted within their respective traditions.The series seeks to place these traditions in sustained dialogue. Rather than emphasizing questions of influence or hierarchy, it explores how common Confucian texts generated distinctive philosophical questions and responses in Korea and Japan. Through carefully grounded comparisons of thinkers, texts, and intellectual problems, the series presents Korean and Japanese Confucianism as interconnected currents within the broader history of East Asian thought, revealing both their shared foundations and their unique developments.The inaugural volume examines two of the most influential Confucian thinkers of early modern East Asia: Ito Jinsai (1627-1705) of Tokugawa Japan and Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1836) of late Joseon Korea. Although separated by time, geography, and intellectual context, both regarded the Mencius as an indispensable source for understanding human nature, moral cultivation, and ethical practice.Focusing on the celebrated passage concerning "knowing words and nourishing qi" (), this study offers a close comparative reading of Jinsai's Ancient Meanings of the Mencius (Mengzi Kogi, ) and Jeong Yak-yong's Essentials of the Mencius (Mengja Youi, ). It examines how each philosopher interpreted "flood-like qi" (), intention (zhi, ), righteousness (yi, ), the heart-mind (xin, ), and the cultivation of moral character.Jinsai approached the Mencius through the method of recovering its "ancient meanings," emphasizing the practical force of classical language through careful attention to words, historical context, and lived moral experience. Jeong Yak-yong, by contrast, employed rigorous philological analysis, evidential scholarship, and a strong concern for moral discipline, ethical responsibility, and practical governance. Their differing approaches illuminate two distinctive yet complementary paths within the Confucian tradition.Rather than treating Korean and Japanese Confucianism as separate intellectual worlds, this volume brings them into direct conversation. By demonstrating how the same classical passage inspired different accounts of qi, moral courage, and ethical cultivation, it offers a fresh perspective on the diversity and vitality of East Asian Confucian philosophy. The result is a comparative study that contributes not only to Confucian studies but also to the broader fields of comparative philosophy, intellectual history, and East Asian thought. A comparative study of Ito Jinsai and Jeong Yak-yong's interpretations of the Mencius, exploring qi, moral cultivation, and ethics in Korean and Japanese Confucianism. This item is printed on demand.
