Dear Morgan,<br><br>
Have you seen an English outline of Korean Confucianism by Prof. Keum
Jang-tae (KUm Changt'ae), entitled <Confucianism and Korean
Thoughts> (Jimoondang Publishing Company, Seoul, 2000, 246 p.)? It
looks like quite a good overview, but the only pity is that the
shortcomings of its only too literal English translation are
obvious even to a non-native speaker like me - and would offend the eye
of a native speaker perhaps in a stronger way. Then, a reader gets a
strong impression that the book was prepared to publication in a great
hurry - the first part (up to p. 124) lacks footnotes, and so on. But,
despite all these problematic points, it seems to be one of the few
professional attempts to make an outline of Korean Confucian
history.<br><br>
Greetings,<br><br>

Can anyone suggest a good introductory reading on Confucianism in Korea?
I<br>
know of many excellent readings on certain proponents, rulers, periods,
and<br>
movements within Korean Confucianism, but I am having trouble finding a
good<br>
text that explains the fundamentals, in a Korean context, for
undergraduate<br>
students. <br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
Morgan<br>
