Summary Bridging various dichotomies such as East/West, reason/emotion, male/female, and caring/justice, Robert Carter shows that ethics, environmental concern, caring, and joy in living are dependent on the growth and transformation of the self. Only by becoming aware of the interrelatedness of things, Carter reveals, can we become as supple and as strong as the bamboo tree, long the symbol of longevity and constancy
