This paper explores Yu Giljun��s political thought that appears in his Borosaguk Huryeduik Daewang Chilnyeonjeonsa (A History of the Seven Years War of Prussia��s Frederick the Great). Although Chilnyeonjeonsa is based on a translation of the Meiji writer Shibue Tamotsu��s Furederikku Dai�� Shichinensenshi (A History of the Seven Years War of Frederick the Great), the text contains Yu��s original reinterpretations.
This paper summarizes Yu��s ideas in Chilnyeonjeonsa as the following. First, Yu handled the Seven Years War as an exemplary case of nation-building in the world of power politics. For Yu, the Seven Years War presented a model case for the survival of a small nation surrounded by the great powers. Second, Yu contended that the key to Prussia��s survival lied in the fact that the Prussian state earned the affinity of the German nation, utilizing the notion of ��Harmony among People�� referenced in the Mencius. Third, Yu represented Frederick II as the ��North Star�� from the Analects and his subjects as ��a Cluster of stars,�� since Frederick II gained public support all across the German region without coercion.
While the main arguments of Chilnyeonjeonsa were based on the writings of Shibue Tamotsu and several Western historians including Thomas Babington Macaulay, the work made a contribution of the original ideas to the East Asian discursive field. First, Chilnyeonjeonsa shared Fukuzawa Yukichi��s realist assumptions on the world politics posed in Ts��zoku Kokkenron (A Discourse on Nationality written for the public), but proposed a new answer concerning a nation��s proper action under Fukuzawa��s premise. Second, Yu borrowed the traditional concept of ��Harmony among People�� from the Mencius, but redefined it in its relation to nation-building. Third, while Yu��s allusion to the ��North Star�� derived from Shichinensenshi by Shibue Tamotsu, the citation of the Analects demonstrated an unconventional appropriation of the classical text in the Korean discursive field, since Yu��s ��North Star�� referred to a monarch that fights as a military commander rather than one who practices virtue politics. Finally, nation-building in Chilnyeonjeonsa is presented as a process in which the monarch��s military competence assigned homogeneous identity to the subjects. The nation-building model in Chilnyeonjeonsa marks the break with the earlier model in his earlier work Seoyu Gyeonmun (Observations in the West), which proposed nation-building by means of education and legal institutions.
