About the Author:

Richard J. Smith is George and Nancy Rupp Professor of Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University. He is author, coauthor, or coeditor of a dozen scholarly books, including China’s Cultural Heritage: The Qing Dynasty, 1644–1912 and Cosmology, Ontology, and Human Efficacy: Essays in Chinese Thought.

Review:

A major contribution to the fields of Chinese intellectual history and religion. To my knowledge it is the first work in a Western language that attempts an overall picture of the place of the Yijing in Chinese history and culture.

(Joseph A. AdlerKenyon College, author of Chinese Religious Traditions)
