Abstract

Journal of Korean Religions 6/1 2015 In summary, Carl Young’s book is a fascinating and detailed study of an organization, a nation, and a region of the world in steep transition, at the end of one century and at the birth of another. A professor of Korean history at Yonsei University in Seoul once described the period 1860 to 1910 as the most crucial and complex in Korea’s extensive history. In examining this period through the prism of Tonghak/Ch’ŏndogyo, its leader Son Pyŏnghŭi, and his predecessors Ch’oe Cheu and Ch’oe Sihyŏng, Young not only shines a spotlight on a world of events which incorporates the whole of Northeast Asia, but offers an erudite interpretation of them. Consequently, Carl Young’s book Eastern Learning and the Heavenly Way: The Tonghak and Ch’ŏndogyo Movements and the Twilight of Korean Indepen- dence, 1895–1910 should be required reading for all those who research, write about, teach, or study this particular period of world history, as well as for those who have an interest in the socio-political, cultural, economic, historical, ethical, and religious events which evolved rapidly and unpredictably in North- east Asia during this period, and which sent shocks and aftershocks reverberat- ing throughout
