"In premodern China, elite painters used imagery not to mirror the world around them, but to evoke unfathomable experience. Considering their art alongside the philosophical traditions that inform it, The Great Image Has No Form explores the “nonobject”—a notion exemplified by paintings that do not seek to represent observable surroundings. François Jullien argues that this nonobjectifying approach stems from the painters’ deeply held be ..."

"It is by Richard Wilhelm, whose 1924 German translation was translated into
English, then (re)retranslated by Étienne Perrot into French. It may be surprising
that so short and so major a text, traditionally attributed to Confucius and making
up part of the canonical book, as well as being universally recognized as basic to
Chinese thought because it provides a set of formulas and coherences that have
been readopted and exploited e ..."
