Qu'est-ce que Yin Yang, l'emblème de la pensée chinoise ? Le sinologue, écrivain et conférencier Cyrille J.-D. Javary nous propose, à travers un récit imagé, de revenir sur cette notion longtemps incomprise de la pensée occidentale. Réponse philosophique et pratique formulée par le peuple chinois face à l'alternance des saisons, Yin Yang pose pour principe que tout change perpétuellement et nous épargne ainsi la gageure aristotélicienne de devoir penser le monde de façon unitaire.
