Cheng focuses on critically comparing philosophies of science, religion, and metaphysics in Leibniz, Whitehead, Neville, and Cobb alongside classical Chinese views on reality, divinity, knowledge, and morality. The book begins and ends with questions related to the character of Chinese metaphysical traditions, which contrast with the mainline metaphysical traditions found in Western Europe and North America. Cheng argues throughout the book that the philosophical underpinnings of basic concepts in Chinese culture are ultimately rooted in key claims found within the \u003ci\u003eYijing\u003c\/i\u003e??and one of its standard commentaries, the \u003ci\u003eYizhuan\u003c\/i\u003e??. The book serves as a complementary volume to the author's previous book, \u003ci\u003eThe Primary Way: Philosophy of the\u003c\/i\u003e Yijing, which lays out a comprehensive and systematic philosophy based on the symbolism and text of the classical document and its traditional commentaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67589946081647,"sku":"9781438494067","price":286.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1438494068.jpg?v=1790509182","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/the-philosophy-of-change","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
