Article Summary

Han Wônjin was a major thinker of the Korean neo-Confucian tradition. One of the leading scholars of his time, he is especially remembered as a protagonist in the Horak controversy, which he ignited with the observation that ki (in Chinese, qi) or ‘material force’ is present even when the mind is in a meditative, quiescent state.
