Description
The I Ching Or Book of Changes: A Timeless Guide to Wisdom and Balance First published over 2,000 years ago, the I Ching is one of the earliest attempts by humanity to understand its place in the universe. This ancient Chinese text has had a profound influence on Eastern philosophy and continues to be studied and revered today. Translated into English for the first time in 1924, Richard Wilhelm's rendering of the I Ching presents the original text in a form accessible to readers worldwide. With his unique understanding of the cultural context, Wilhelm brought new insight to the spirit of the I Ching, making it a valuable resource for those seeking wisdom and balance. This third edition features a new foreword by Hellmut Wilhelm, one of the leading American scholars of Chinese culture, who discusses his father's groundbreaking work on the I Ching. The updated edition includes minor textual corrections, revised bibliographies, and an index, ensuring that readers can fully appreciate the timeless wisdom contained within.
