The I Ching has influenced thinkers and artists throughout the
history of Chinese philosophy. This new, accessible translation of
the entire early text brings to life the hidden meanings and
importance of China's oldest classical texts. Complemented
throughout by insightful commentaries, the I Ching: A Critical
Translation of the Ancient Text simplifies the unique system of
hexagrams lying at the centre of the text and introduces the
cultural significance of key themes including yin and yang, gender
and ethics. As well as depicting all possible ethical situations,
this new translation shows how the hexagram figures can represent
social relationships and how the order of lines can be seen as a
natural metaphor for higher or lower social rank. Introduced by Hon
Tze-Ki, an esteemed scholar of the text, this up-to-date
translation uncovers and explains both the philosophical and
political interpretations of the text. For a better understanding
of the philosophical and cosmological underpinning the history of
Chinese philosophy, the I Ching is an invaluable starting point.
