본 논문은 東武 李濟馬(1837~1900)의 四象的 思惟體系와 『大學』의 八條目과의 관계를 그의 철학서인 『格致藁』를 중심으로 고찰하였다. 『格致藁』의 책 이름 자체가 『大學』의 ``格物致知``에서 따온 것이며, 『儒略』편 첫 번째 소재목인 ``事物``도 『大學』經1章의 ``物과事``에 근거하는 등 『格致藁』전편 이 『大學』의 八條目과 직접적 관계를 맺고 있다. 이에 東武의 四象的 思惟體系의 핵심인 事心身物 四象과 인간 본성인 仁義禮智 四德 그리고 君子·小人之道를 중심으로 『大學』의 八條目과의 관계를 고찰하였다. 먼저 事心身物 四象에서는 事와 治國平天下· 心과 格物致知·身과 誠意正心·物과 修身齊家를 각각 결부시키고, 또 事와 誠意·心과 正心·身과 修身·物과 齊家를 각각 결부시켜, 자신의 四象的 思惟體系에서 『大學』의 八條目을 논급하고 있다. 또한 인간 본성인 仁義禮智 四德에서는 仁과 修身齊家·身과 誠意正心·心과 格物致知·事와 治國平天下를 각각 결부시키고, 『大學』의 四心論을 근건로 四象體質의 마음작용을 설명하고 있다. 마지막으로 東武가 君子·小人之道를 논급함에 있어서도 八條目을 근거로 그것을 잘 실천하는 존재가 君子라며, 八條目과 반대되는 마음과 행위를 하는 존재가 小人임을 밝히고 있다. 한편 東武哲學은 한 마디로 요약하면 先秦儒學의 聖人之道에 근거를 둔 君子之學인데, 그는 先秦儒學의 철학적 원리를 근거로 실증적인 학문인 醫學(韓醫學)에 적용하여 四象醫學을 창안한 것이다. 따라서 東武哲學의 본래면목을 밝히기 위해서는 先秦儒學의 입장에서 그의 철학을 집약하고 있는 『格致藁』에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

In this paper, I studied the relationship between Dongmu Lee, Jea-Ma(1837~1900)`s the thinking system of Sa-Sang and the Great Learning`s clause of eight(八條目). And It was studied centered around Gyeokchigo that is Lee, Jea-Ma`s philosophy book. The book entitled “Gyeokchigo” Quoted investigatin of things & extension of knowledge(格物致知) in the Great Learning(『大學』) Things and Affairs, first strapline of 『Youlak(儒略)』is based on ``Things (物) and Affairs (事)`` in the Great Learning. Besides the whole book of Gyeokchigo concluded the relationship with the Great Learning`s clause of eight directly. This paper is studied the relation between SaSimSinMul(事物身物) that is the core of the thinking system of Sa-Sang, human nature that four virtue(humanity, justice, propriety, lntelligence) and a man of virtue and small fry(君子·小人之道) of Dong-mu and the Great Learning`s clause of eight intensively. First, in SaSimSinMul it related Sa(事), well their States & whole kingdom(治國平天下)·Sim(心), investigatin of things & extension of knowledge ·Sin(身), sincere in their thoughts & regulated their hearts(誠意正心) · Mul(物) and cultivated their persons & regulated their families(修身齊家) respectively. And it related Sa, sincere in their thoughts · Sim, rectified their hearts·Sin, cultivated their persons·Mul and regulated their families respectively. It is mentioned the Great Learning`s clause of eight in his the thinking system of Sa-Sang. And it related each humanity(仁), cultivated their persons & regulated their families·justice(義), sincere in their thoughts & rectified their hearts · propriety(禮), investigatin of things & extension of knowledge·intelligence(智), well their States & whole kingdom in human nature that four virtue. He explained four figural physical constitution`s mind function based on the Great Learning`s SaSim(四心) Finally Dongmu referenced a man of virtue and small fry. The man of virtu practices The clause of eight well. A little one behaves antagonistically toward clause of eight. In sum, Dongmu`s philosophy is scholarship of a man of virtue based on Confucianism`s. He created a Sa-Sang Constitutional medicine(四象醫學) through applying Confucianism`s philosophical principle to medical science(Oriental medicine), empirical study. Therefore, it has to be studied Confucianism`s perspective to make clear Dong-mu philosophy`s true character. And it has to be studied about Gyeokchigo that summing up Dongmu`s philosophy.
