This study comparatively analyzes Seo-ong Seokho's concept of the "true man" and modern virtue ethics to explore the ethical characteristics of Seo-ong's thought. Both ideologies critique rationalistic rationalism and seek ethical potential through human character, but differ in their methodologies for realization. Seo-ong emphasizes wisdom gained through meditation and the practice of compassion, while virtue ethics highlights the formation of habits based on practical wisdom.
