Abstract
Yulgok Yi I was one the most significant thinkers of 16th-century Korean Confucianism and his ideas deeply influenced the development of Korean Confucian academies. His plans and practical steps concerning the Confucian academies—their purpose, students, shrines, and economic management—shows that there were shifting patterns in the Korean model of the Confucian academy in his time and gives us an insight into both private and court debates about the possible shape and management of Korean academies. Yulgok’s main contributions concerning academy rules were consistent rules for the admission of students (stressing broad access to academy education), fixed patterns for academy decision-making (often based on collective decisions), and a detailed system of punitive measures intended to maintain discipline among the students. In his plans for Munhŏn Academy Yulgok combined all three of Zhu Xi’s crucial concepts for governing local society (Confucian academy, community compact, community granary) into single model and he was one of the first Korean thinkers who shaped his private study hall according to the model of the Confucian academy.

Abstract
Kim Sisŭp has been traditionally understood as a moralistic and erudite Confucian scholar, but few studies focus on his theoretical achievements in the Korean Learning of the Way. The aim of this study is to analyze the surprisingly large number of Kim Sisŭp’s texts on crucial points of the Confucian philosophical discourse, namely li and qi and other related concepts including taiji, human nature etc. A survey of his crucial texts on such theoretical problems will enable us to describe with precision Kim Sisŭp’s views on the theoretical foundations of Confucian discourse and his place within the development of Korean Confucian philosophy. In a broad sense, this study also contributes to a better understanding of the precise character of fifteenth-century Confucian discourse.
Dissent and Creativity in Chosŏn Korea
The Lives and Legacy of Kim Sisŭp (1435–1493) offers an account of the most extraordinary figure of Korean literature and intellectual history. The present work narrates the fascinating story of a prodigious child, acclaimed poet, author of the first Korean novel, Buddhist monk, model subject, Confucian recluse and Daoist master. No other Chosŏn scholar or writer has been venerated in both Confucian shrines and Buddhist temples, had his works widely read in Tokugawa Japan and became an integral part of the North Korean literary canon.
The nine studies and further materials presented in this volume provide a detailed look on the various aspects of Kim Sisŭp’s life and work as well as a reflection of both traditional and modern narratives surrounding his legacy. Contributors are: Vladimír Glomb, Gregory N. Evon, Dennis Wuerthner, Barbara Wall, Kim Daeyeol, Miriam Löwensteinová, Anastasia A. Guryeva, Sixiang Wang, and Diana Yüksel.

Abstract
Confucian academies in post-liberation North Korea became subject of a complex political and intellectual debate motivated by the needs of the new regime to reevaluate the Korean past according to the ideological framework of Marxism-Leninism. Confucian academies were designated as institutions belonging to the past feudal order and as such their traditional functioning was severed and liquidated. On the other hand they were to a certain degree recognized as cultural relics belonging to the people of the DPRK and North Korean scholars devoted considerable effort to describe the role of Confucian academies within the traditional Korean society. The present study analyzes North Korean discursive strategies concerning Confucian academies during the 1950s and 1960s. It focuses on both popular and academic depictions of these educational, religious, and political institutions, including the most recent developments in the field.
