근세 중？일 반유학적(反儒學的) 사회변혁론 비교 - 이지(李贄)와 안도 쇼에키(安藤昌益)의 정치사상을 중심으로 -

This article is to compare the anti-Confucian social reformative political thoughts in modern China and Japan, focusing on the political thoughts of Lee Shi and Ando Shoeki. Facing the contradictive socio-political situation of their each society, Lee Shi and Ando Shoeki commonly asked a fundamental change toward their societies under the dominance of Confucian political ideology, not merely a conservative reform under the premise of preserving the established system. It was the starting point that their strong criticism to Confucianism and acceptance of the logic of traditional anti-Confucian political thoughts such as Mohism and Taoism as its alternative in thought. Their theories of human being and the cosmos was the theoretical basis of the egalitarian political order. And the practical methods presented by Lee Shi and Ando Shoeki contained some valuable individual and communal alternatives in order to construct egalitarian political orders. Even though some points of difference such as social status, viewpoint of 'the people', and originality in thought exited between the two political thinkers, it can be safely said that they showed common position in terms of pursuing the mass ruled-oriented egalitarian political order through overcoming the Confucian unequal order and accepting the anti-Confucian traditional political thoughts.
