试论俞吉浚的自由民权思想

On Yoo Kil-jon's Thought of Free Civil Rights

在朝鲜近代的开化思想中,反封建的民权思想和反侵略的国权思想是有机、紧密地结合在一起的。在封建专制统治腐败和欧美势力向东扩张的双重危机下,朝鲜面临着既要克服封建主义,又要抵制外来资本主义入侵的双重任务。开化派认识到,朝鲜如果没有资本主义改革就不能保持国家的独立,没有民族的独立也就没有资本主义的正常发展。俞吉浚以自然法思想为基础、以天赋人权论为武器,提出了系统的民权思想,其核心主张即人的权利是天赋的。

The Enlightenment in the modern history of Korea linked the thought of civil rights against feudalism with the thought of national rights against foreign aggression closely and systematically.The corruptive feudal dictatorship and the expansion of western powers forced Korea to overcome feudalism and fight against the invasion of foreign capitalism.The Enlighteners realized that Korea could not be independent without capitalist reforms,while capitalism would not be normalized without national independence.Based on thought of natural law and natural rights of man,Yoo Kil-jon proposed his systematic thought of civil rights,which strongly insisted that human rights were innate.
