This book addresses a notable lacuna within the corpus of English-language scholarship by investigating Ham Sok Hon’s philosophy of peace. Ham Sok Hon (1901-1989) is hailed as one of modern Korea’s most influential figures, having been nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize. Throughout his life, he embraced various roles, including those of activist, journalist, historian, poet, and philosopher, while consistently advocating for democratization, human rights, and labor rights. Whereas existing literature primarily offers biographical narrative, this work provides a focused and systematic analysis of Ham's fundamental doctrines concerning peace and non-violence. Central to this analysis is an in-depth exploration of Ham's key concepts, such as “ssial philosophy,” “saengmyeong (life) consciousness,” and the intriguing notion of “tteut (meaning).” By drawing from a wide range of philosophical and religious traditions believed to have influenced Ham’s thinking, including Christianity, Hinduism, Confucianism, Daoism, as well as works by notable figures like H.G. Wells, Henry David Thoreau, Henry Bergson, Rabindranath Tagore, and Mahatma Gandhi, the proposed text aims to provide a nuanced, syncretic understanding of his conception of peace. Furthermore, the book contributes to the overall global discourse on peace and nonviolence.

This Open Access book offers the first comprehensive analysis of Korean Neo-Confucian theories of mind and moral cultivation during the Joseon dynasty. Exploring major debates—the Four-Seven Debate, the Horak Debate, and the Simseol Debate—this book examines how leading thinkers such as Yi Hwang (Toegye), Yi I (Yulgok), Han Wonjin, Yi Gan, Jeong Yagyong (Dasan), and Yi Hangno conceptualized the moral mind as an affective-cognitive-moral complex. Bongrae Seok situates these discussions within the broader Neo-Confucian metaphysical framework of i (principle) and gi (material force), while highlighting their distinctive Korean orientation toward moral psychology and self-cultivation. Combining historical depth with philosophical rigor, the book addresses theoretical and practical implications for Confucian ethics and comparative philosophy, offering insights into virtue, mindfulness, moral cognition, and moral autonomy. Ideal for scholars and students of Korean philosophy, East Asian thought, and comparative moral psychology, this volume advances global dialogues on mind, morality, and moral practice.
