A history and description of the I Ching, its importance to Chinese culture and the perspectives that it opens up regarding chance. "By giving us the means to lead our lives through the obstacles that it encounters, the I Ching increases our freedom and all human dignity with it. But it goes even further. Through its marriage of chance and necessity it shows, as does chaos theory, that life is neither predictable nor erratic but is a harmonious combination of the two. The future is both controlled in general and unpredictable in its particularities."
