Very good cloth copy in very good dustjacket. Previous owner'sd name inside. xv, 331pp. In this study the author traces the origins of Chinese cosmology, which he sees as inextricably bound with the rise of systems of correlative thought; the beginnings of geometrical cosmology in early China and the refinements and developments of correlative cosmology in medieval China, with a chapter devoted to correlative cosmology in the Neo-Confucian tradition; and, finally, the decline of bothgeometrical and correlative cosmology in late imperial China in the wake of changes in the intellectual climate during the Ch'ing dynasty.
