Humans are unique in their ability to create systematic accounts of
the world - theories based on guiding cosmological principles. This
book is about the role of cognition in creating cosmologies, and
explores this through the ethnography and history of Yijing
divination in China. Diviners explain the cosmos in terms of a
single substance, qi, unfolding across scales of increasing
complexity to create natural phenomena and human experience.
Combined with an understanding of human cognition, it shows how
this conception of scale offers a new way for anthropologists and
other social scientists to think about cosmology, comparison and
cultural difference.
