‘Hoe – Ni argument’, also called ‘Hoe – Ni antagonism’, refers to the party strife inside Seo-in party, between No-ron group with Song Si Yeol as representative and So-ron group represented by Yun Jeung. Relatively speaking, Yun Jeung was considered a figure of goodwill and mild temper while Song Si Yeol was said to be a severe and hostile opponent. Yun Jeung seemed to be tolerant and faithful while Song Si Yeol looked prematurely senile and supercilious. Yun Jeung relied on the reality and makes all his effort to find the truth while Song Si Yeol was somewhat dogmatic. Even if it means ignoring the right and wrong of the contents, when considering the manner they have in handling matters, we cannot but express our sympathy for Yun Jeung. The antagonism between Yun Jeung and Song Si Yeol mainly resulted from different theoretical viewpoints to which the two closely adhered. Thus the critique from Song Si Yeol over Yun Jeung was initially theoretical, and the discussion between them took place fundamentally within the theoretical scope. However Song Si Yeol’s thought was getting more and more dogmatic, hence their relationship was finally changed from master-disciple to rival. About the contrast between the two’s thoughts, it can be said that although Yun Jeung belonged to the school of Yul-gok and U-gye, but at that time he started to receive the Neo-Confucianism of Toe-gye and pay attention to the Philosophy of the Mind of Lu-Wang. Therefore his viewpoint gradually leaned to Nam-in group, and he intended to harmonize the thoughts of Toe-gye, Yul-gok and U-gye, and sought for the compromise between Cheng-Zhu’s theory of Li (程朱理學) and Lu-Wang’s theory of Mind (陸王心學). Whereas Song Si Yeol belonged to Seo-in group through and through. The dispute of Yun Jeung against such figure as Song Si Yeol was not obstructed by the master-disciple relationship between them two or the geographic area, but manifested his regard to thought and theories as essential, and his courage to receive and combine his own theoretical position with Toe-gye’s thought as well as Lu-Wang’s theory of Mind. It can be said that, similar to the transitional period between Ming and Qing dynasties in China when the theoretical transformation emerged and the theories of Zhu Xi started to combine with the theories of Lu-Wang, the thought of Myeong-je Yun Jeung showed the theoretical characteristics of a transitional period in Korean history of philosophy when the extreme reverence for the theories of Zhu Xi gradually reduced and there appeared the intention of modifying the theories of Zhu Xi and receiving other schools of thought.
