Kim Tae-wan: Yi Ik Seongho Saseol
The thirteenth book in the [NEW 60 Humanities Classics Selected by Seoul National University] series, which has sold over 5 million copies! A comprehensive compilation of the Seongho thought by the great scholar Yi Ik, who demonstrated the life and attitude of a true Seonbi! *Seongho Saseol* reflects a critical awareness seeking to perceive the world and society in a holistic and concrete manner. The more than 3,000 categories classified by Yi Ik serve as a barometer in themselves to measure Joseon society of the time; this barometer delves into not only society but also the natural environment, ecology, and even the trivial details of daily human affairs. Therefore, as you read this book, you will realize that the society faced by Joseon at that time is not significantly different from the society we live in today in the 21st century. From the issue of distribution between the haves and the have-nots, the ethics and morals that politicians must uphold, the proper attitude of scholars, to the frugal and humble lifestyle required to lead a healthy life, you will feel a sense of wonder that not a single matter deviates from Yi Ik's words.
