Poor and fatherless, T'oegye became Korea's greatest philosopher through hard work and integrity. In the 1500's, the Joseon Dynasty repeatedly recalled him from retirement to serve and fight corruption. T'oegye, or "Retreating Creek", via his philosophy and school, continues to influence East Asia and beyond.
