Abstract
이색은 당대를 대표하는 유학자로서 고려 말 성리학을 진흥하는 데 큰 역할을 하였고, 그와 교류한 인물들은 조선 건국에 직간접으로 참여하거나 반대하였으며, 그 학문은 조선 성리학에 영향을 주었다. 그러므로 이색에 대한 연구는 고려후기 사회의 실상을 파악하고 조선 성리학의 특징을 이해하는 데 기여할 것이다.

이색에 관한 연구는 1960년대 이래 현재까지 연구가 진행되어 많은 사실이 밝혀졌다. 초기의 개괄적인 검토에서 점차 불교관, 정치사상 등으로 확대되어 갔다. 최근에는 『목은집』역주가 완성되어 유교, 불교, 도교 등의 난해한 부분과 풍부한 지적 감각과 감성에 대한 이해가 가능하게 되었다.

최근 『목은집』에 없는 이색의 글을 모으는 과정에서 일본 명고옥 봉좌문고에 있는 『책문』(이를 가로 표시)이라는 책 속에 이색의 대책문 1개를 확인하였고, 국내에서 『동인책선』과 『책문』(이를 나로 표시)에 있는 이색의 대책문 2개를 확인했다. 대책은 과거시험의 마지막 관문인 종장의 시험 방식으로, 당면한 현실 문제를 질문하는 책문의 답안지이다.



Examined in this article are, the situations of King Gongmin-wang"s second year in reign, and Yi Saek"s own ideas on how to deal with such situations. They are examined through the recently found articles that were drafted by Yi Saek. Those two articles were his own response to questions, which were given to him during a national examination session.

In one question, the ethical messages of the Four Classic Scriptures 『Seo/書』, 『Shi/詩』, 『Yeok/易』 and 『Chunchu/春秋』, as referred to in the classic scripture 『Yae"gi/禮記』, are first mentioned. Then it is followed by an argument that there was no problem with the ethical messages themselves. Yet it is also mentioned that there could be mishaps in applying them to real life conditions and because of that they should be carefully applied. The ultimate question is, what would be the sources for such mishaps.

In response to such question, Yi Saek argued that the Six Classic Scriptures(六經) were the principles of the era and a model for all kings, yet people"s practice of the teachings of Four Classic Scriptures were bound to differ end vary, and in cases even produce unfortunate results, because of "four" kinds of individual differences in terms of their own level of character building(心性修養), their own academic achievements, their own earlier habits, and their own predetermined mentality. So, Yi Saek argued that only through protocols/禮 and music/樂, two concepts of teaching(out of the Six Classic Scriptures) based upon order and harmony, the rightful nature of things would be understood, amicable human relationship be established, and customs be regulated in the right direction. He also argued that all things are destined to be decided by the king, so the king should learn the way of things(道學), enrich the custom, and change the people"s habits.
