Features: This book offers a brand-new interpretation of the I Ching from a methodological perspective. It is divided into three parts. Part I. Introduction. Through a discussion of the incompleteness of contemporary scientific rationality, it proposes that the study of the I Ching is the logic of qualitative change. The second part, A New Interpretation of the I Ching, is the main body of the book. The author uses "diagrams" to explain "phrases," revealing the original meaning of the I Ching. The third part, Conclusion, explores the integrative function of the study of the I Ching for human knowledge. From a logical height, the author transforms the profound Book of Changes from a classical philosophical form into a modern scientific form, making innovative explorations for the scientification of dialectical thinking. The 64 personality types elaborated in this book represent a different path of personality systems compared to Western psychology. It is the first comprehensive explanation of the structure and attributes of personality, holding significant practical value in talent selection, personality training, and self-correction.
