Recognizing that the non-hierarchical model extends beyond Eastern traditions, it explores its connections with concepts developed in the West, such as Carl Jung's archetypal psychology, Georg Cantor's Diagonal Theorem, Rene Girard's mimetic desire, and Alfred North Whitehead's process thought. Through a critical examination of the numerical and symbolic structures of the Yijing, the author introduces Kim Ilbu's Jeongyeok (The Book of Right Changes) and demonstrates how it further strengthens the correlation between opposites, challenging any hierarchical system implied by the Yijing. Both the Yijing and Jeongyeok serve as valuable textual sources for engaging in a discussion about the Divine, as conceived in Eastern and Western philosophical-theological traditions, in distinct ways. While the Yijing emphasizes the non-theistic aspects of the Ultimate, Jeongyeok extends them to address theistic concerns by introducing the notion of Sangjae, the Supreme Lord. This exploration leads to a fruitful dialogue for understanding the dualistic characteristics of divine reality, encompassing both personal and impersonal aspects. By acknowledging their contrasting perspectives, the author views their divide as a transformative and expansive opportunity to broaden one's understanding of the divine conception in the ever-changing process of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 494g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 158 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781498573924\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Young Woon Ko","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44508814082298,"sku":"9781498573924","price":93.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692368318005_book.jpg?v=1692706455","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-nonhierarchical-way-from-yijing-to-jeongyeok-a-new-paradigm-for-east-meeting-west-9781498573924","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
