This book presents Yi Hwang (1501-1570)-better known by his pen name, Toegye-Korea's most eminent Confucian philosopher. It is a pioneering study of Toegye's moral and religious thought that discusses his holistic ideas and experiences as a scholar, thinker, and spiritual practitioner. This study includes Toegye's major texts, essays, letters, and biographies.
