The essays contained in this book respond affirmatively to this question in seeking to show how \u003cem\u003eThe Classic of Changes\u003c\/em\u003e can help us think through the particularly human challenge of establishing meaning and making choices between alternatives. The author’s book explores and discusses novel and often surprising ways for contemporary readers to interpret and apply this ancient Chinese classic, touching upon fields such as narration, technology, ecology, psychology, aesthetics, ontology, cognition, semiotics, and gender issues.
