 In what follows, I first introduce the philosophical framework against the background of the native belief of shamanism before the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BCE–668 CE; see section 1). This will be followed by a discussion of Buddhist philosophy (section 2) during the Unified Silla dynasty (668–918) and the Koryŏ dynasty (918–1392). I then move on to a systematic presentation/examination of philosophy developed by Neo-Confucianism in the Chosŏn dynasty (1392–1910; see section 3). The last section discusses modern philosophy in Korea (section 4).
