Coping with the Future: Theories and Practices of Divination in
East Asia offers insights into various techniques of divination,
their evolution, and their assessment. The contributions cover the
period from the earliest documents on East Asian mantic arts to
their appearance in the present time. The volume reflects the
pervasive manifestations of divination in literature, religious and
political life, and their relevance for society and individuals.
Special emphasis is placed on cross-cultural influences and
attempts to find theoretical foundations for divinatory practices.
This edited volume is an initiative to study the phenomena of
divination across East Asian cultures and beyond. It is also one of
the first attempts to theorize divinatory practices through East
Asian traditions.
