I'm willing to share this with anyone serious enough to download and look at it, in return (please) for a comment or two. It's a 1.5 mb file, with parts in Word, PDF and HTML. It's at least as "heavy" a work as Kunst's two volume doctoral thesis, and about 900 pages. This is the first two of a planned three volumes, and includes two kinds of translation and a traditional Chinese text (Big5) based on the Harvard Yencheng Zhouyi Yinde. It's still missing a 300 page commentary. After lots more Changes this will be posted in pieces on a new web page over the next year. While it can be called scholarly, I do not follow Gao Heng or the current academic Modernist, Context Critic or Etymology fads. No grunting hamsters and dancing elephants, and no twitching captives. I'm working on a different hypothesis: that the book actually makes sense if you translate it more carefully. Please write to me privately if you want to receive either a Table of Contents or the whole package. All the best, Bradford Hatcher ===== To unsubscribe from Hexagram-8, send a message to majordomo@apocalypse.org from the address subscribed, containing just the word UNSUBSCRIBE.
