The General Law of Being: Article 1: Being of Interrelation

Abstract

In December 1998, Dongyue Wang, a polymath with almost no engagement in the academic community, published his work, 物演通论 [A Unified Theory of Evolution], in which he shared his new cosmological system – a model of existence that unifies every being with a simple, universal law. It is profound and a fundamental challenge to existing thought about perceptions of reality in our universe. Astonishingly, this ingenious, fundamental theory sprouted in China, which has almost no soil of philosophy to nourish it. While the literature of Laozi, Confucius and the Hundred Schools of Thought are recognized as Chinese metaphysics, little philosophy can be found afterwards for over 2000 years – until Wang appeared with his ideas that propose an ultimate principle of all beings, including the very basis of being and how changes of the properties of beings are possible.
