This open access book sheds light on the term gongsheng/ky sei, which is used in Chinese and Japanese to not only translate "symbiosis" in biology but also broadly deployed in philosophical, social and political contexts. It is a cross-contextual attempt to study the foundation of gongsheng/ky sei as a philosophy of co-becoming, with exploration of its significance for thinking about the planetary challenges of our times.
