In the history of thought, Park Gyu-su is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Park Gyu-su as Korean scholar-bureaucrat (1807-1877).
Park Gyu-su was born at Seoul in 1807. His recorded nationality is Joseon.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Joseon matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Park Gyu-su died in 1877, aged 70. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
