Observing gates from various perspectives-including philosophy, architecture, and psychology-and through the conceptual lens of Chinese correlative thinking, Galia Dor conceptualizes the Chinese gate as a membrane-like apparatus that, from the space \"in-between,\" efficaciously manifests (\u003ci\u003ede\u003c\/i\u003e) the Way (\u003ci\u003edao\u003c\/i\u003e) into the \"ten thousand\" forms of actualized life. This methodology exposes an open-to-closed gradation between pairs of inside\/outside (\u003ci\u003ewai\/nei\u003c\/i\u003e) that resonates throughout the Chinese model of psychocosmic concentric circles. The consequential strategies (e.g., continuity\/break, chaos\/order) demonstrate how early Chinese cosmological, philosophical, and political idealities, as well as afterlife religious beliefs, were applied-including the various approaches to and practices of self-cultivation. The book sheds new light on ancient Chinese thought and material culture and offers points of comparison to Western thought and modern science, including a model of \"decision-gating\" that carries relevant implications and insights to our current lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGalia Dor \u003c\/b\u003ereceived her doctorate in East Asian Studies from Tel Aviv University, where she has lectured on Chinese and Japanese philosophy, art, and material culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 322\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 02, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45430909730918,"sku":"9781438497525","price":72.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/zg0DaPR8za9781438497525.webp?v=1775764190","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/unlocking-the-chinese-gate-manifestations-of-the-space-in-between-in-early-china-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
