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.
