Neo-Confucianism and Science in Korea: Humanity and Nature, 1706-1814

By Sang-Ho Ro

Book Overview

Historians of late premodern Korea have tended to regard it as a hermit kingdom, isolated from its neighbours and the wider world. In fact, as Ro argues in this book, Korean intellectuals were heavily influenced by both Chinese Neo-Confucianism and the European Enlightenment in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
