Title: Confucian Intellectual's “Poetic Quality Dwelling”——The Confucian Intellectual Spirit in Li Toe-gye's Doems
Abstract: This paper makes use of Martin Heidegger's thoughts of Dichtung and his philosophical thoughts to study Korean Confucian philosopher Li Toe-gye's poems,and makes use of Li Toe-gye's poems and Confucianism to understand Heidegger's philosophy,so as to show spirit of intellectuals in Li Toe-gye's poems.In my opinion,Heidegger's Existence(Sein) is what is called Production and Reproduction and the Heart of Heaven and Earth in Confucian philosophy.Li Toe-gye has,by conscious retirement from his contemporary world,realized his true existence;his poems have showed his apprehension of production and reproduction and understanding of Existence(Sein) and his acquirements of such kind of joyfulness as forming one body with myriad things,a joy that also contains such aspiration as to assist world.By understanding Existence,Confucian intellectuals have obtained a power of exerting influence on others.On contrary,Heidegger's understanding of Existence can't be said of a kind of joyfulness,rather a kind of lonely that lacks any vitality.
