Abstract

In this article, I introduce a theory of Chinese philosopher, 王东岳/ Wang Dongyue, and discuss the implications of it, reflecting on its possibilities for Asian Big History and as an alternative or complementary way of constructing grand theories of Big History. I believe Wang’s theory of weakening-compensation liberates us big-historians from a stereotypical understanding of our field. It enables us to acquire diversified perspectives on Big History and helps us overcome some serious problems that mainstream Big History faces.
