Abstract

I begin by investigating some general characteristics of the ki-worldview, namely, the notions of continuity, wholeness, and dynamism. I argue that these interrelated concepts can serve as an interpretive framework in understanding the Korean Neo-Confucian philosopher So Kyongdok's philosophy of ki. Next, I discuss So's philosophy of ki, and its practical implications focusing on these themes. In concluding, I show via recorded images of So that the notions of continuity, wholeness and dynamism within his philosophy of ki were not mere concepts for him, but rather were an intimate and concrete way of life.
