The relationship between these two opposing, yet mutually dependent, forces is symbolized in the familiar black and white symbol that has become an icon in popular culture across the world. The real significance of yinyang is, however, more complex and subtle. This brilliant and comprehensive analysis by one of the leading authorities in the field captures the richness and multiplicity of the meanings and applications of yinyang, including its visual presentations. Through a vast range of historical and textual sources, the book examines the scope and role of yinyang, the philosophical significance of its various layers of meanings and its relation to numerous schools and traditions within Chinese (and Western) philosophy. By putting yinyang on a secure and clear philosophical footing, the book roots the concept in the original Chinese idiom, distancing it from Western assumptions, frameworks and terms, yet also seeking to connect its analysis to shared cross-cultural philosophical concerns. 410 0$aNew approaches to Asian history ;$v11. 606 $aYin-yang 606 $aPhilosophy, Chinese 615 0$aYin-yang. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Chinese. 676 $a181/.11 686 $aPHI003000$2bisacsh 700 $aWang$b Robin$01520003 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792088203321 996 $aYinyang$93758436 997 $aUNINA
