Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. First American edition, and first English language translation; first printing. Complete in two volumes, bound in publisher's black cloth stamped in gilt, Fine, in a Near Fine unclipped dust jackets with light wear and light soiling, in Very Good publisher's original black slipcase with light rubbing, light wear to the extremities. The very first English-language translation of the Chinese classic text The I Ching, attributed to Fu Xi. Baynes' English rendering of Wilhelm's German translation continues to be widely read today. With an introduction by eminent psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung.
One never "finishes" reading the I Ching, which is itself awesome. What has blown me away though is the forward by Carl Jung. That alone is worth the price of the book.
Jung addresses the difference between the western focus on cause & effect and the Chinese focus on chance, such as in the I Ching. He points out that the cause & effect sequence is rarely clean - that chance almost always plays a big part. Fascinating! So study of chance is actually a very logical thing to do. :-)
