- Summary
- "Toegye and Gobong Write Letters is a unique look into the lives of two prominent Confucian scholars. This special edition of their letters highlights their personal struggles as civil servants and scholars. Set in the backdrop of the Four Seven debate, the greatest philosophical debate in Korean neo-Confucianism, these poignant letters have been carefully edited to limit scholarly discussions, making them more accessible to the Confucian neophyte."--Jacket.
