Margaret J. Pearson, Ph.D., studied Chinese literature with Hellmut Wilhelm, and history with Jack Dull and Chan Hok-la. She has taught Chinese history and thought, for over thirty years, at Skidmore College, the New School for Social research, Pace University, State University of New York (Albany) and Marymount Manhattan College. She has been elected to life membership at Clare Hall, Cambridge University and to membership in the Early China Seminar at Columbia University.
The "I Ching" or "Book of Changes" is one of the World's most influential books-comparable to the Bible, the Koran, and the Upanishads. Since its origin 3,000 years ago, it has become a compendium of wisdom used by people of many cultures and eras, analyzed by scholars and seekers alike.
This groundbreaking new translation is based on core text created during the first centuries of the Zhou Dynasty (1045?-256BCE). Freed from the distorting effects of commentaries written a thousand years later and after, the essential meaning of the original text comes through here with unusual directness.
For those wishing to use the text to clarify their thinking about decisions, Pearson also provides a step-by-step guide.
