Abstract

Jeong Jedu (1649-1736) was a Yangming school philosopher of the late Joseon period, a quite unusual figure in an era in which the Neo‑Confucian teachings of the Zhu Xi school had become the reigning orthodoxy in intellectual circles. Even so, previous scholarship has noted his "Neo‑Confucian conservatism" and "rightist tendencies." Jeong wrote extensively on the theory and practice of Confucian ritual, and since he largely based his discussion on texts of Zhu Xi's Jia li (Family Rituals) and Xiao xue (The Elementary Learning), he is said to have been inclined toward the Zhu Xi school. Following a careful examination of the writings of both Jeong Jedu and Wang Shouren, this paper provides substantive evidence that this is a misinterpretation of Jeong's thought. In short, Jeong's thought had lost none of its essence as that of a scholar of the Yangming school, nor had it made a rightward turn or a hybridization with Zhu Xi's Neo‑Confucianism. Instead, as this paper will make clear, Jeong Jedu's thinking on ritual, including his views on its relationship with morality and ethics, was quite faithful to the philosophy of Wang Shouren. It also points to the unique characteristics of the morality and ethics of the Wang Yangming school in general.
