Description

The I Ching: An Ancient Chinese Oracle and Book of Wisdom Translated by John Minford in this Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, the I Ching is an ancient text that has been consulted for over three thousand years to gain insights into the world and our place in it. Its origins date back to shamanistic practices involving the ritual preparation of oxen shoulder bones. This new translation, informed by recent archaeological discoveries, presents the I Ching's sixty-four hexagrams in a gorgeously rendered codex, capturing the majesty and mystery of this legendary work. The text has had a profound influence on Western culture, inspiring artists and thinkers such as Bob Dylan, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Philip K. Dick, and Philip Pullman. With its timeless wisdom on spiritual growth, business, medicine, genetics, game theory, strategic thinking, and leadership, the I Ching remains a widely consulted text around the world.
