Known widely as a tool for predicting the future, the I Ching is also a repository of three thousand years of philosophy.

The wise person harmonizes with the great cycles of change, and, in order to be a master of change, must understand the I Ching.

In their hands, it emerges, as it did for C. G. Jung, as a vital key to humanity's age-old collective unconscious. Here the observations of the Wilhelms are combined in a volume that will reward... more

There are currently two translations available which offer somewhat conflicting interpretations - the popular Confucian version and an earlier Taoist version called Zhouyi.
