朝鲜开化思想诠论——以稳健开化派为主的探索

On the Korean Enlightenment Thought:With the Focus on Moderate Enlightenment

朝鲜开化思想,是旨在建设近代国家的资本主义改革思想,也是以反对腐败无能的封建主义、实现近代化为目的的近代启蒙思想的雏形。在改革的范围和速度以及是否要与国内外政治势力相结合的问题上,开化思想又分为激进开化思想和稳健开化思想。稳健开化思想以近代东道西器论为基本思想,主张通过自上而下的改革,力主对内实现富国强兵,且对外实行均势外交,引进近代的文物制度,使落后的封建朝鲜逐渐发展成先进的资本主义国家,从而实现近代朝鲜的民族自强。

The Enlightenment thought of the Korean,a capitalist reform thought aimed at constructing a modern Korea,is also the embryo of the modern enlightenment ideas against the corrupt and incompetent feudalism and for the realization of modernization.Based on the views on the scope and speed of reform and on whether to allay with domestic and overseas political powers,the Enlightenment thought is classified into two camps-Radical Enlightenment thought and Moderate Enlightenment thought.The Moderate Enlightenment thought is based on the Eastern Learning and Western Science and Technology theory of modern times and advocates developing the backward feudalist Korea gradually into an advanced capitalist country whereby to achieve national self-reliance through top-down reform,enriching the country,developing the national defense at home,implementing balanced diplomacy to the outside,and introducing modern heritage system.
