Abstract
AbstractGyeong 敬 (jing in Chinese) is one of the most significant notions in the Korean Neo-Confucian philosophy of emotion. First, I will examine the meaning of gyeong and its relation to emotions within Korean Neo-Confucian discussion on human nature, mind-heart, virtue, self-cultivation, and emotion. I will note mainly how Toegye Yi Hwang (退溪 李滉1501–1570) understood Zhu Xi’s idea of jing and systemized it in his philosophy. Second, I will be especially concerned with showing that the notion of gyeong can play a distinctive role in contemporary Western discourse on emotion, morality, and virtue.
