“The Elegant Wisdom of the Joseon Tradition:
Reflections on the Gyeongbok and Changdeok Palaces and the Philosophy they Embody”
TAI TALK
Saturday, August 8, 2015
7:00-9:00 P.M.
@ W Stage Anguk
(see map below)
The Changdeok Palace and Gyeongbok Palace reflect two sides of the elegance and refinement that embody the Joseon Dynasty tradition of continuity and humility. Both palaces, after many setbacks during the colonial occupation and the drive for modernization, have obtained a new significance in a mature Korea. In this seminar we look at the significance of these two palaces for Korea’s culture and governance and the hints that the Joseon tradition offers for our future.
