Gu, Linyu.  "Time as Emotion vs. Time as Moralization: Whitehead and the 'Yi Jing'."  Journal of Chinese Philosophy 25, no. 2 (June 1998): 209-36.

Abstract

In the present writing I argue that one of the unique contributions of Alfred North Whitehead's process metaphysics is its potential tendency to develop an integrated view of time and emotion, which can be improved by appropriating the moralistic dimension on time and harmonization in Chinese "Yi" philosophy. From the "Yi" perspective, I propose that whereas Whitehead conceives that our primitive experience of time is the emotional harmony between physical and mental worlds, the Chinese thought of "Yi" (change) presents time ("shi") as "ceaseless creativity (sheng sheng)" of "human self-cultivation (zi qiang)" in approaching a "harmonious unity of heaven, earth, and man (tian ren he yi)."  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
