  "summary": "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. The translation was completed by a research team comprising professors Back Young-sun, Park So-jeong, and researcher Ha Na. 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.",
