Yi Je-hyun wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Yi Je-hyun as Korea Goryeo scholar (1287-1367).
Yi Je-hyun was born in 1287. His recorded nationality is Goryeo.

Yi Je-hyun died in 1367, aged 80. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
