동아시아 고대철학에서 숙명의 재해석-『주역본의』,『논형』, 재이 관념을 중심으로-

This article analyzes fatalism in Zhouyibenyi, Lunheng, and the theory of portents. Zhuxi, the author of Zhouyibenyi, emphasizes that people should focus on their own problems rather than consulting a fortuneteller. He revises Zhouyibenyi to help individuals use it for their own fortunetelling. His interpretation of Zhouyibenyi centers on reflection and decision-making during the fortunetelling process. In Lunheng, fatalism is depicted as inevitable in matters such as longevity, promotion, and other forms of luck that are beyond one’s control. Therefore, people should free themselves from problems they cannot control and concentrate on self-cultivation. The theory of portents is rooted in fatalism; however, thinkers in early Chinese ethics allow for a degree of interpretive freedom in their discussions of this theory. This philosophical interpretation of fatalism is significant in East Asian philosophy.
