520 |a At various periods throughout the roughly two and a half millennia of its history in China, the I Ching or Book of Changes, while generally remaining grounded in a fundamentally spiritual world-view, served as a foundational text for both magical and scientific thinking. This bivalence is reflected in some of the responses which this divinatory and philosophical system has received following its introduction to the West in the present century. The present paper looks at two such related, but contrasting responses, one emphasizing the more conspicuously magical dimension of the I Ching, the other emphasizing some of its suggested scientific implications. Both approaches take their primary inspiration from the psychological theories of C. G. Jung who was deeply engaged with the I Ching. It is suggested that part of the contemporary appeal of the I Ching in the West may derive from its serving as a symbol for the integration of scientific, magical, and spiritual thinking.
