Spiritual growth

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, a common source for both Confucianist and Taoist philosophy, is one of the first efforts of the human mind to place itself within the universe. It has exerted a living influence in China for 3,000 years, and interest in it has been rapidly spreading in the West.

Richard Wilhelm's rendering of the I Ching into German, published in 1924, presented it for the first time in a form intelligible to the general reader.

This third edition contains a new foreword by Hellmut Wilhelm, the son of Richard Wilhelm and one of the most eminent American scholars of Chinese culture.

With a foreword by C.G. Jung.
