Moral Radicalism is the concept that represents Cho Kwang-jo’s volition to synthesize morality and politics through the politicization of morals. Firstly, this article seeks to reinterpret the genealogy of neo-Confucian orthodoxy in the early Chosŏn period from political perspectives. Secondly, it tries to argue that Cho exercised his influence over his contemporary political arena in the process of establishing Korean neo-Confucian genealogy. Thirdly, it examines two aspects of Cho’s moral radicalism, which are moral investigation on the principles of politics and political realization of the moral principles. A moral radical Cho Kwang-jo was not able to overcome the political obstacles in his days. His political career was no more than 4 years, and he did not produce brilliant academic achievements. Nevertheless, he was politically reinstated posthumously through the enshrinement in a Confucian shrine, and his faith in moral principle on politics was reappraised. Cho Kwang-jo’s moral radicalism was a typical ideology of pre-modern Korean political thoughts.
