Scholars have long debated the relationship between Buddhist monks and Confucian literati during the late Chos?n (1700–1850), when the Korean state adopted anti-Buddhist policies. In Monks and Literati, Seong Uk Kim argues that prevailing views of this relationship overemphasize the role of literati and depict monks as passive actors.
