Study as Identity
Résumé
As much as their originality, the important volume and variety of subjects dealt with in Tasan’s works are an object of admiration. If these remarkable accomplishments are at times attributed to his genius or the time available to him during his eighteen-year exile, it is nonetheless pertinent to also investigate his practice of study for an explanation. An intellectual tradition is not only summed up by its contents, but is also equally constituted, among other things, of its approaches, methodologies, and work and production methods. Moreover, the practice of learning (or method of work) can also serve to set parameters in order to characterise an individual or a group in the same scholarly social milieu. In the writings classified as “miscellanies” (雜文), Tasan lays out concrete propositions and teachings concerning what study, reading, writing, and editing should be. The aim of this paper is to bring together the relevant elements contained in his writings connected to this subject and make a preliminary synthesis of studies already completed on this question.
