Features: This book comprehensively integrates Professor Cheng Chung-ying's research on the philosophy of the I Ching, showcasing his own theoretical framework. The framework elucidates the five meanings of the I Ching and its metaphysical world, establishing a metaphysical and hermeneutical system for the philosophy of the Book of Changes. It provides an experiential and phenomenological starting point, as well as methods and directions for thinking and understanding. Additionally, the book proposes the theory of the unified origin of yi (significance), li (principle), xiang (image), and shu (number); the perspective of guan (observation) explains the symbolic system of the I Ching and its earliest connotations. It also interprets the meaning of divination and distinguishes between Daoist and Confucian metaphysics based on I Ching studies. The seven lectures in the appendix explain the five wisdoms of the I Ching in an accessible manner, and from the perspectives of Chinese and Western philosophy as well as management philosophy, it pioneers the decision-making theory of the I Ching, inspiring deep reflection and thought.
