The book of changes: An ancient decision‐making tool

In our last issue Raymond Van Over described some current developments in intuitive decision‐making. In this issue he describes a respected eastern decision‐making tool, the I Ching or Book of Changes, first developed in the twelfth century B.C. Each of the sixty‐four hexagrams of the I Ching stands for a particular basic policy applicable to the life of an individual or human system. The collective learning embodied in the I Ching presents a “network of change processes rather than a structure of policy models.”
