hilary said:Balkin's been remaindered?? For shame! Lucky for anyone who doesn't have a copy, though.
He writes with great lucidity and leaves nothing ambiguous. It doesn't always add to W/B, but sometimes does - he has drawn on other sources, and is aware of more recent work. I sometimes suggest people get this one to use alongside Total I Ching - perfect complements.
Actually Balkin's text is a translation.fyreflye said:For clear language without simplistic interpretations I recommend Jack Balkin's "The Laws of Change," recently remaindered and so available for around $10.00. Not a translation from the Chinese, either, but basically a commentary drawn on years of study and use of Wilhelm/Baynes.
EwaldI used the original Chinese text, supplemented by concordances and dictionaries, and checked my work against a variety of other translations and commentaries. Fortunately, a great deal of work has been done on the problems of translating the I Ching into English in the past thirty years, and this made my task easier than it would have otherwise been.
