Reviews

This anthology offers a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion of the significance of qi/gi in Chinese and Korean neo-Confucianism. Essential reading for those who want to understand the diversity of approaches to this concept in East Asian thought.
*Timothy Connolly, East Stroudsburg University*

This book is a comprehensive investigation of the concept of qi/gi, one of the essential concepts in understanding the East Asian world view, cultures, and ways of thinking. This is an excellent analysis of the diverse theories of various scholars who followed the school of qi/gi in China and Korea.
*Young-Chan Ro, George Mason University*

This book touches on diverse aspects of Qi philosophy, a body of philosophical discourses on the most categorical concept in East Asian ways of thinking and living, through introduction and analyses of influential thinkers’ theories from both Korea and China. It is a ground-breaking academic contribution that caters to the need to clearly understand how significantly, and divergently, the concept qi has been integrated into the nexus of East Asian philosophy.
*Hongkyung Kim, Stony Brook University*
