Fathoming the Cosmos and Ordering the World is the first
full-length study in any Western language of the development of the
Yijing in China from earliest times to the present. Drawing on the
most recent scholarship in both Asian and Western languages,
Richard J. Smith offers a fresh perspective on virtually every
aspect of Yijing theory and practice for some three thousand years.
Smith introduces the reader to the major works, debates, and
schools of interpretation surrounding this ancient text, and he
shows not only how the Book of Changes was used in China as a book
of divination but also how it served as a source of philosophical,
psychological, literary, and artistic inspiration. Among its major
contributions, this study reveals with many vivid examples the
richness, diversity, vitality, and complexity of traditional
Chinese thought. In the process, it deconstructs a number of
time-honored interpretive binaries that have adversely affected our
understanding of the Yijing-most notably the sharp distinction
between the ""school of images and numbers"" (xiangshu) and the
""school of meanings and principles"" (yili). The book also
demonstrates that, contrary to prevailing opinion among Western
scholars, the rise of ""evidential research"" (kaozheng xue) in
late imperial China did not necessarily mean the decline of Chinese
cosmology. Smith's study reveals a far more nuanced intellectual
outlook on the part of even the most dedicated kaozheng scholars,
as well as the remarkable persistence of Chinese ""correlative""
thinking to this very day. Finally, by exploring the fascinating
modern history of the Yijing, Fathoming the Cosmos and Ordering the
World attests to the tenacity, flexibility, and continuing
relevance of this most remarkable Chinese classic.
