초록

구한말-일제강점기의 남원 출신 유학자 박해창(1876-1933)은 부친 박주현의 가르침과 스승 송병선의 가르침을 적절히 소화하여, ‘존양의리(尊攘義理)’에 입각한 국권수호(國權守護) 및 회복(回復)의 의지를 굳건히 지켜 나갔다. 당시 호남지방을 비롯해 전국적으로 분포하던 연재학파의 일원이었던 그는 작고참금(酌古參今)의 관점에서 유교의 도덕관을 실천하면서, 서양의 선진 과학기술 문명을 적절히 활용하는 신구학절충론(新舊學折衷論)을 견지하였다. 이러한 사상에 입각하여 대한제국 말기의 고종황제 측근으로서의 비서감랑(秘書監郞)직을 수행하는 도중에 을사늑약(乙巳勒約) 체결에 반대하는 상소운동에 참여했고 대한자강회에 자강불식(自强不息)할 것을 권고하는 글을 투고했으며, 관직을 사퇴한 후에는 호남학회(湖南學會) 활동과 향촌에서의 서당교육[書塾] 및 향촌사회와의 나눔의 삶을 통해 일제에 타협하지 않고 국권회복의 길로 매진할 수 있었다.
