Change: Eight Lectures on the I Ching

Part of the prestigious Bollingen Library series published in partnership with Harper Torchbooks, this 1960 volume presents eight illuminating lectures on the ancient Chinese "Book of Changes" by renowned sinologist Hellmut Wilhelm. Wilhelm, son of the famous I Ching translator Richard Wilhelm, brings scholarly rigor and cultural insight to this profound philosophical text.

The Bollingen Foundation's mission was to make important works of world thought and culture accessible to general readers, and this volume exemplifies that goal. Published during a period of growing Western interest in Eastern philosophy, these lectures bridge Chinese and Western intellectual traditions. For collectors of philosophy, comparative religion, and the Bollingen series, this book represents mid-century efforts to foster cross-cultural understanding and remains a valuable introduction to I Ching philosophy.
