The Korea Times reports that Sungkyunkwan University’s College of Confucian Studies and Eastern Philosophy has published a complete English translation of “Sachil Sinpyeon,” a philosophical work by Yi Ik, a prominent Confucian philosopher of the late Joseon period. The first English edition, titled “Seongho Yi Ik: The New Compilation of the Four Beginnings and Seven Emotions,” was published by Oxford University Press earlier this month.

This achievement marks the culmination of the Academic Translation of Korean Texts Project, a three-year initiative that began in September 2022, supported by the Ministry of Education and the Academy of Korean Studies.
