Presenters: Tze-Ki Hon
Dr. Tze-ki Hon, a long-time scholar of contemporary interpretations and readings of the Yijing (The Changes in Our Times), was one of the lecturers at the recent celebration of the 100th anniversary of Alfred North Whitehead’s arrival at Harvard. He will discuss with us the topic of that lecture, “Yijing and Process Cosmology.”
Dr. Hon currently serves as the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College (UIC). After obtaining his bachelor’s degree from the University of Hong Kong, he pursued further studies in the United States, earning a master’s degree from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Over the past twenty-plus years, he has taught at Hanover College in Indiana (1992-1996), SUNY Geneseo (1996-2016), and City University of Hong Kong (2017-2021). Professor Hon specializes in the study of the Yijing (I Ching), Chinese cultural history, modern intellectual history, and the transmission of Chinese classics to the West. He has published three books: The Yijing and Chinese Politics (2005), Revolution as Restoration (2013), The Allure of the Nation (2015); and co-authored Teaching the I Ching (Book of Changes) (2014) with Geoffrey Redmond, which instructs Westerners on how to read the I Ching. He has also edited six volumes of collected papers, including Confucianism for the Contemporary World (2017), Cold War Cities (2021), and The Other Yijing (2022). His papers appear in journals such as the Journal of Chinese Philosophy, Modern China, Monumenta Serica, and the Sungkyun Journal of East Asian Studies.
