American Jungian analyst who translated Richard Wilhelm's German I Ching into English — producing the Wilhelm/Baynes version that became the standard English text for half a century — and who was an important bridge between Zurich Jungian psychology and the English-speaking world.
Made the I Ching available in English in a version that preserved Wilhelm's Jungian-compatible interpretation — the Wilhelm/Baynes I Ching became the text through which generations of English speakers encountered this divination system, and its accompanying Jung foreword made it a canonical Jungian text.
