Lee Ik(李瀷), a representative thinker of the Southerners in the Vicinity of Capital Seoul(近畿南人) in the 18th century, had extended the range of his studies with an open attitude regardless of party affiliations and schools of thought. The feature of his well-informed studies was revealed through his vast works. And he actively accepted the social reform thought of Yi Yi(李珥) and Yu Hyoung-Won(柳馨遠), establishing the frame of Sirak(實學) in the late Joseon Period(朝鮮後期). With an open learning attitude and active will for overcoming reality, Lee Ik formed a different cognitive system from that of the contemporary confucian scholars emphasizing Zhu Xi`s Theory(朱子學). For that reason, he also indicated a discriminative recognition in view on women comparing with the contemporary confucian scholars. After reviewing Lee Ik's view on women from the two different categories, family and society, we could find out that Lee Ik had had more respectful and careful thought on women than the contemporary confucian scholars had. Lee Ik's view on women was derived from the academic characters of his studies. Lee Ik attached great importance to the original confucianism and built up a view on women which valued each individual ability. Based on it, Lee Ik formed a discriminative recognition on women different from the view in those days and later his view on women had influence on that of Jeong Yak-Yong(丁若鏞). However, Lee Ik didn't absolutely think of women as equal individuality with men. He also had a discriminative recognition that women couldn't build up their character. I think it wrong that we consider him to have had the same view on women as the contemporary confucian scholars had, because of this critical point. Since, it is unreasonable that we require him, who lived several centuries ago, to have the same view on women as we have today. This inquiry into Lee Ik's view on women, I think, have the same way of the movement that some of the academic world try to figure out the whole aspect of an individual's recognition through exploring a variety of fields in the individual's studies when researching an individual's thought.
