“西学东渐”与朝鲜“实学”的近代化价值取向

"Western Culture Spreading in the East" and the Modern Value-orientation of Korea's "Realistics"

朝鲜"实学"派学者们所积极倡言的"经世致用"、"利用厚生"、"实事求是",容纳外来文化和学习西方先进技术的开明改革主张,是由"西学东渐"形势促成的;这必然促使朝鲜逐步学习西方先进的近代化知识与思想观念,从而为朝鲜民族通过近代改革走向资本主义近代化奠定实学基础。因此,朝鲜实学中已经有了近代化价值取向的萌芽,是朝鲜在传统文化走向近代化的转变中产生的一种过渡思想。

The trend of ＂western culture spreading in the East＂ spurred Schools of ＂realistics＂ in Korea actively advocating the necessity of learning foreign cultures and advanced technology, which made a good foundation of realistic thoughts for Korea＇s capitalism. Therefore, the value-orientation of realistics proves that it is a transitional thought in the process of culture development from the traditional to the modern in Korea.
