About the time of the purge of Confucian literati(士禍), especially the period of King SungJong(成宗) to King MyongJong(明宗) is the period that many scholars devoted themselves to mental culture and learning as hermits in the country rather than entering into an official career and that the Royal Court called them frequently. They retired from the world, but they were an influence no less than those who entered into an official career with social reputation and influence, nevertheless their real value were denied because of their rejecting of the Royal Court's calling. About that time, Hoogye(后溪) Kim Beom(金範)(1512-1566) was the scholar who was a hermit at Sanjoo(尙州) for life, who devoted himself to the Principles of Human Mind and Nature(性理學), and who was called by Myongjong because of his cultivation and knowledge. Though Hoogye was held in reverence and reputation that time, like many hermits, he was underestimated after ages. Thus, this study have the first aim of revealing an scholar's real value, which has not known in the world. By considering of Hoogye's scholastic tendency as well as the particular study of him, this will be of help to the study not only of scholars who devoted themselves to the Principles of Human Mind and Nature as hermits, of their scholastic tendency, but of their universal consciousness at that time through Hoogye's scholarly mind as a traditional philosopher. In short, this study is a part of the study of traditional philosopher who was underrated, compared with a man who has a strong influence about real world, and this study will continue.
