In my career as a scholar of innovation and organisation, I was professionally interested in processes of change, and was struck by the ubiquity of change in different fields of science and philosophy, and became intrigued by the question what they might have in common. I have been reading philosophy since I was 13, and was interested in particular in philosophies of change, finding that the theme was more in evidence in Eastern than in Western philosophy. After many years of study, I came to this book, discussing forms of change and seeking connections.
