Yin-Yang representation of financial crisis: a Korean perspective
Get PDFAlthough the concepts of Western-Eastern integration to optimise management strategies are well-established, investigations on the applicability of these concepts in real-life situations are lacking. This study investigates how integration of (Eastern) Yin-Yang principles of seeking balance into Western concepts benefitted Koreans in combatting financial crises repercussions. Through analysis of 519 South Korean economic magazine covers taken over the period 2007-2012, the study shows the mindset of Korean society during the 2008 financial crisis. The covers provide a balanced interpretation of crisis events as both disastrous and opportunistic. Traditional Yin-Yang values therefore appear to be preserved in Korean management philosophy, even though contemporary Korean business strategies are strongly influenced by Western principles. By comparing these findings with social attitudes during previous crises in Korea, the study provides a real-life example of possible benefits of integrating Eastern and Western philosophy in management strategies

The Yin-Yang dataset
Get PDFThe Yin-Yang dataset was developed for research on biologically plausible error backpropagation and deep learning in spiking neural networks. It serves as an alternative to classic deep learning datasets, especially in early-stage prototyping scenarios for both network models and hardware platforms, for which it provides several advantages. First, it is smaller and therefore faster to learn, thereby being better suited for small-scale exploratory studies in both software simulations and hardware prototypes. Second, it exhibits a very clear gap between the accuracies achievable using shallow as compared to deep neural networks. Third, it is easily transferable between spatial and temporal input domains, making it interesting for different types of classification scenarios
“Yin - Yang”
No full textKomposisi musik Yin-Yang merupakan interpretasi dari konsep dualisme hakekat manusia, yakni mengenai jiwa-raga yang sangat berkaitan erat dengan tujuan hidup manusia. Kajian tentang hakekat hidup manusia memiliki perbedaan antara filsuf Barat dan Timur. Filsuf Barat memfokuskan hakekat jiwa pada rasio (pemikiran). Sementara pendapat filsuf Timur, hakekat jiwa terletak pada qolb. Hal tersebut dalam karya ini digunakan sebagai inspirasi. Dalam konsep diatas, manusia merupakan makhluk yang sempurna, dan didalam konsep dualisme Yin-Yang memiliki empat prinsip. Selanjutnya prinsip-prinsip tersebut digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi mediom dan idiom musikal. Lebih lanjut, pemilihan berbagai model melodi, ritme, harmoni serta dinamika dilakukan. Hal terakhir yang dilakukan ialah menentukan bentuk-bentuk musik yang sesuai dengan komposisi musik yang berjudul Yin-Yang ini. Setelah mengaplikasikan konsep ke dalam komposisi musik, diketahui bahwa di dalam kehidupan musik tidak kalah kompleksnya dengan berbagai unsur yang terdapat dalam diri manusi

Yin-Yang O-Hang and technological art
No full textThis research aims to suggest a means of creating a closer relationship between technological artwork and its viewers through applying 'naturalising' technology in art using the theory of Yin-Yang O-Hang. The questions are raised : 1/. What are the vital factors of technological artworks? 2/. What sorts of methods can make using technology in arts more effective? 3/. How to overcome the difficulties in getting an intimate relationship between viewers and technological artworks? In order to optimise the aesthetic use of technology in art, the research is thus focused on 'naturalising' technology as a possible solution to overcome the negative aspects of technological artworks through the application of the theory of Yin-Yang O-Hang.Throughout this research, the author has discussed the fundamental concerns of the theory and its applications in Western and Eastern art. Furthermore, in investigating a number of artworks, the trends have been explored in technological art which are compatible with nature and humanity. The author has tried to find a way of applying the theory of Yin-Yang O-Hang to make technological art more intimate and accessible to viewer
Yin-yang dialectics and communitarianism in cross-cultural management research
No full text
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to comment on “Global implication of the indigenous epistemological system from the East: How to Apply yin-yang balancing to paradox management” by Li (2016). As a pioneer in developing indigenous Chinese management theories, Li has been focused on extracting essential principles of the Chinese yin-yang philosophy and applying them to organization and management phenomena within and outside China (Li, 1998, 2012, 2014a, b). In this paper (Li, 2016), Li sharpens his thinking on the unique attributes of the Chinese yin-yang balancing perspective so as to both distinguish it from and connect it to Western Aristotelian and Hegelian philosophies in regard to contradictions and paradoxes that are increasingly more prevalent in contemporary organizations. The author found Li’s paper thought provoking and highly relevant to cross-cultural management research. The author reflects on the yin and yang of the yin-yang perspective itself and discusses how it can be extended for theorizing about cross-cultural or inter-cultural management research.
Design/methodology/approach
Applying yin-yang dialectics on the East-West cultural differences, this commentary contends that the strengths and weaknesses of the cultural mindsets of the East and the West are relative and potentially complementary to each other, and seeks to balance and integrate Eastern and Western perspectives for theorizing and tackling cultural differences and conflicts in a globalized world.
Findings
On the basis of yin-yang dialectics on cultural differences, a communitarianism model is proposed for cross-cultural researchers to balance and integrate individualism and collectivism, a well-established East-West cultural difference.
Originality/value
The theoretical model of communitarianism builds upon but transcends either Eastern or Western cultural differences toward a viable global value system.

Zhong-Yong as dynamic balancing between Yin-Yang opposites
No full text
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to comment on Peter Ping Li’s understanding of Zhong-Yong balancing, presented in his article titled “Global implications of the indigenous epistemological system from the East: How to apply Yin-Yang balancing to paradox management.” Seeing his understanding of Zhong-Yong balancing being incorrect and incomplete, the author proposes an alternative perspective on Zhong-Yong as dynamic balancing between Yin-Yang opposites.
Design/methodology/approach
The author first explain why Peter P. Li’s “asymmetry” and “superiority” arguments are flawed by referring to the original text of the classical book of Zhong-Yong (中庸) and a comparison between Zhong-Yong and Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean. The author then propose an alternative approach to Zhong-Yong balancing that is embedded in the original text Zhong-Yong but somehow has been neglected by many Chinese scholars. The author concludes the commentary by unifying the two alternative approaches to Zhong-Yong balancing under the inclusion-selection-promotion-transition (ISPT) framework of Zhong-Yong balancing.
Findings
There are three main findings. First, as the original text of Zhong-Yong does not prescribe asymmetry, Peter P. Li’s notion of “Yin-Yang balancing” is ironically unbalanced or anti-Zhong-Yong due to his emphasis on asymmetry to the exclusion of symmetry. Second, due to the equivalency between Zhong-Yong and Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean, Peter P. Li’s assertion that “Yin-Yang balancing” is superior as a solution to paradox management is flawed. Third, his “Yin-Yang balancing” solution is only (the less sophisticated) one of two alternative approaches to Zhong-Yong balancing, i.e., ratio-based combination of Yin-Yang opposites. What Peter P. Li and many other Chinese have neglected is another approach to Zhong-Yong that is embedded in the original text of Zhong-Yong, which I call “analysis plus synthesis.”
Research limitations/implications
As it is a commentary there are no specific limitations except for what can be covered in the space available.
Practical implications
The “analysis plus synthesis” approach to Zhong-Yong can be adopted by practitioners who are demanded to balance between opposite forces in daily life and work.
Social implications
The rejection of the “Yin-Yang balancing being superior” assertion facilitates reduction of friction and non-cooperation between intellectual traditions.
Originality/value
This commentary contributes to the “West meets East” discourse by debunking Peter P. Li’s assertion that Yin-Yang balancing is superior as a solution to paradox management and his prescription that balancing between Yin-Yang opposites must be asymmetric. It also contributes to the Chinese indigenous management research by identifying a largely neglected approach to Zhong-Yong balancing (i.e. “analysis plus synthesis”) that is alternative to the commonly understood ratio-based combination approach (e.g. “Yin-Yang balancing”). In addition, it contributes to the management literature by proposing the ISPT framework of Zhong-Yong balancing.

Yin-Yang In Epistemology
No full textIn this dissertation, I propose a novel model to analyze the process of inquiry and deliberation in terms of an updated concept of yin-yang in Chinese philosophy. This yin-yang model shows that it is the dynamic process to be assessed rather than static attitudes, especially in cases of akratic beliefs and suspension. In the second chapter, I introduce the updated concept of yin-yang, tracing its philosophical roots and explaining how it can account for process rationality. Drawing on examples like Galileo’s observation of the Moon, it delineates the diachronic progression of belief concatenation. In the third chapter, I argue that akratic beliefs should be taken as transitional episodes of an inquiry or inference in progress. This account shifts focus from evaluating temporary belief states to assessing the deliberative process. In the fourth chapter, I analyze epistemic suspension through the yin-yang framework, presenting it as a dynamic process of receptivity to information and decisiveness in judgment. This reinterpretation underscores its role in fostering inquiry and resolving epistemic uncertainty. By framing inquiry and deliberation as a continuous, dynamic process, the new model for understanding complex epistemic phenomena bridges traditional Chinese philosophy and contemporary epistemology.</p
