Thanks for sharing; I’ve begun working with Richard John Lynn’s translation of Wang Bi’s commentary on the Yijing, and this video provides a little extra perspective on Wang’s philosophical flow. His Daoist roots went deeper than I thought.
The emphasis on roots is a fascinating turn - could this be tied into a Deleuzian view of the rhizome? ATP seems to reject the idea of "setting down roots", comparing this reading with the D&G view of constantly generating multiplicities sounds like a potentially fascinating video essay in future :)
I'm not well versed in Deleuze at the moment but this sounds like a fantastic idea and one I will be sure to explore! There could be a Deleuzian critique of Wang Bi's causal 'root' along with a reconstruction of Dao in the view of a rhizome instead of a root-tree system, that is, so long as I have understood Deleuze correctly.

This reminds me of Hegelian Dialectics!
This was a very informative overview. I just read the Richard John Lynn translation of Wang Bi's commentary. This video was a help. Thanks.
You should dive into how eastern and western philosophies overlap and do like a compare and contrast type thing
True! I plan to in the future!
be here now do no harm help others be still close eyes listen to your breathing.
You're doing God's work sharing this knowledge. As someone who can't afford to buy these books, I thank you.

This presentation felt quite confusing and internally disconnected. Maybe it's the fast pace and the weird translation choices by Wagner.
