abarrera's review against another edition
5.0
Wow, what a book! If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Fantastic essay on the concept of transformations and their qualities with an incredible comparison between ancient Greek philosophy (and language), and Chinese thought (and language).
As a translator of Chinese, I'm in awe of this masterful essay and how well Jullien captures the paradigm difference between western culture and China. Be advised, it's not an easy book to read and requires good focus and loads of quiet, but a must-read for anyone whose thought leans towards long-term mentality and systems thinking.
