Description: Toshihiko Izutsu, an international scholar and one of Japan's leading contemporary philosophers, reflects on how "no-image" (non-being, nothingness) originates images. He characterizes the different relations between no-image and images in three major traditions of the Far East: the I Ching, Classical Taoism, and Zen Buddhism. Along the way, he articulates a theory of consciousness in which image-making is primary and distinguishes sensory and mythopoeic images.
The son of Richard Willhelm, translator of the I Ching, Hellmut Wilhelm has studied that book of divination intensively and has taught in China and at the University of Washington. Here, he considers the multiple and changing relations between image and concept in the I Ching. As well, he give examples of images in that book from various sources -- dream situations, the religious tradition, folk poetry and the ancient Chinese social-political world. Through some images have developed toward stereotyped systems, their innate dynamics resist complete abstraction: "in no case...has the language of the image become the forgotten language."
