Book Description
Learn the meanings behind numbers and how the number of strokes in one's Chinese name can affect one's fortunes. Full colored illustrations. Helpful with diagrams and charts. Background/context regarding numbers in Chinese culture. For more than 3000 years, the Chinese have used numbers not only for mathematics, but also to predict the future and interpret the forces of nature. Numbers have yin and yang qualities and carry specific significance and symbolism. They represent the nine 'stars' of the universe, which symbolizes the essence of the universe and the five elements. As numbers are also associated with the eight trigrams (the basis of Chinese divination), they are also used in Feng Shui calculations and in face and palm reading. This book will reveal how to use numbers to predict the future, as well as help readers interpret dreams associated with numbers and understand what are auspicious and inauspicious numbers. Dr. Evelyn Lip studied and trained in London as an architect. She holds a PhD and Masters in Architecture, and a Diploma in Interior Design. She was one of the first few authors to pen a book in the English language on Feng Shui in the 70s, when the subject was still relatively unknown in many parts of the world. Today, she is a well-regarded Feng Shui consultant, and also an accomplished artist and Chinese opera singer.

In this classic study, a noted scholar reveals "how deeply rooted in medieval thought was the consciousness of numbers, not as mathematical tools, nor yet as the counters in a game, but as fundamental realities, alive with memories and eloquent with meaning."

Book Description
Are there universal properties grounding our sense of resemblance or qualitative identity among a number of distinct things or events which appear to form a class, a type or a kind of some other sort? Do universals such as humanness, triangularity, or being an oak exist? Is being a laptop computer a universal which has only recently come into existence? Do predicate expressions, adjectives or abstract nouns refer to objective properties or cognitive contents called concepts? The problem of universals has been at the centre of ancient, medieval, Western and Indian metaphysics. After the logico-linguistic turn in philosophy, this problem re-surfaced in the discourse on the meaning of predicate expressions on the one hand and in the theories of concepts on the other. By introducing newly commissioned essays written by the leading metaphysicians, epistemologists, philosophers of language and philosophers of mathematics, this anthology evinces current analytic philosophy's healthy re-engagement with this perennial problem. Issues raised include: Do properties and other abstract entities exist independently of human language and thought? Can we be in direct perceptual touch with properties or particular qualities? Is a higher order quantification over predicated properties intelligible or indispensable? Insights from current Western thought are compared with recent work in analytic Indian philosophy on such issues. No serious researcher or teacher of contemporary and comparative analytical metaphysics can afford to ignore the essays of this collection.
