이재 황윤석은 좌우명으로 “군자가 되어 한 가지 사물이라도 알지 못하는 것이 있다면 부끄러운 일이다(君子恥一物之不知)”라고 할 정도로 격물치지적인 박학을 중시하였다. 이재는 성리학과 박학을 체용(體用)의 관계로 인식하였다. 성리학이 체이고, 상수학 즉 천문역상과 수학 등을 용으로 생각하였다. 성리학에 대해서는 주자학 존숭을 내세우면서 역점을 둔 것은 박학의 세계였다. 여기에 그의 독창성이 발휘되었으며, 그가 평생 힘을 기울인 분야이기도 하다. 동시에 그의 박학은 학문적 호기를 위한 것이 아니라 실용을 지향하는 것으로 최종적인 목표는 경세치용이었다.
