In the late Chosŏn period, the relationship between humans and nature was in transition. The development of Myŏngmul-kojŭng-hak (the study of verifying names and evidential studies) enabled scholars such as Yi Ik, Yi Kyu-kyŏng, Sŏ Yu-ku, and Yu Hŭi to observe Mother Nature and to record it. In this paper, I would like to argue that the relationship between humans and nature was transformed by the new sense of intellectual and materialistic superiority of human beings. A case of Carnivora shows us that Koreans built a new body of knowledge and information on the nature: what used to be deemed sacred and fearful. As examples, tiger (虎), Asian wild dog (豺), dog (狗), and cat (猫) were well-known to Koreans for many centuries, but it was not until the late Chosŏn period that humans recognized their own supremacy vis-a-vis these animals and that they tried to investigate the nature of the wild life. In Yi Kyu-kyŏng’s Ojuyŏnmunjangjŏnsan’go and Yi Ik’s Sŏngho sasŏl, it is possible to find that Yi Kyu-kyŏng (1768-1856) and Yi Ik (1681-1763) not only built a rationale of studying the wild life, but also sensed the increasing human dominance over the animals. The two mentioned of new attitudes such as raising a dog and a cat as a pet and hunting tiger in the Chosŏn society, and tried to make their own system of classification. Unlike modern naturalists in the Japanese colonial period, they did not make a conclusion that the wild life must be eliminated for the safety of human beings. They knew the difference between wolf (狼, Yiri) and Asian wild dog (豺, Sŭngnyang’i), and still comprehended the nature through a lens of classical learning. Based on classics, they tried to re-conceptualize the nature in the growing sense of human dominance. Therefore, I would like to argue that the studies on Mother Nature in the late Chosŏn period prove the remarkable transition in human-and-nature relations and the intellectual accomplishment of Chosŏn scholars in their own terms.
