Lectures On The "I Ching": Constancy And Change (Princeton Legacy Library) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Wilhelm frequently wrote and lectured on the Book of Changes, supplying guidelines to its ideas and ways of thinking. Collected here are four lectures he gave between 1926 and 1929. The lectures are significant not only for what they reveal about Chinese tradition and culture, but also for their reflections of the scholarly and cultural milieu prevalent in Germany during that time.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

This book is compiled from some of Richard Wilhelm's lectures on the I Ching and certain topics of Taoist thought. That might seem dry and uninteresting, but that is far from true. The series of lectures is thoroughly engrossing. This is the kind of book who's ideas slowling meld into your unconscious and affect your everyday perceptions. Wilhelm was probably the foremost english-language authority on the I Ching in his time and I believe this work continues to be an essential companion to anyone's study of the I Ching or of the development of Taoist ideas. I consider it an absolutely fundamental part of my library and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter.
Great book and companion to the IChing
