 Social Darwinism in Korea and its Influence on Early Modern Korean Buddhism
A penniless, physically fragile son of an exiled Korean statesman from the semi-gentry “illegitimate” branch of a noble clan, frequently discriminated against and even verbally and physically assaulted on racial grounds, Yun Ch’iho had ample reasons to agonize over the issues of weakness, strength and “struggle for survival”.
For many reasons the situation gradually changed after the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910: first, the sale of Liang’s books was prohibited (they were deemed “potentially subversive”), and, second, an increased number of Korean students in Japan and converts into Christianity greatly improved the average level of mastery of Japanese and Western languages.
Especially strong was the influence exerted on Korea in the 1910s by Liang’s emphasis on education as the main method of achieving “success in civilization and progress” and by his “organic” theory of the statehood borrowed mainly from J.K.Bluntschli (1808-1881) through his Japanese followers.
