IAK Archive – Memory and Transmission
Editor's Note
The classics remain timeless not because they belong to the past, but because they continue to speak to the questions of our time.
The IAK Archive is centered on the enduring questions shared by human civilization.
Being Human.
Living with Others.
Humanity and the Cosmos.
Preserve memory for the past. Leave kindling for the future.

A Living Archive
This archive brings together classical texts, study guides, lecture notes, and related research materials. Some entries present original sources, while others reflect Jian Geyang's reading notes, commentaries, and insights developed through years of study, teaching, and intercultural dialogue. It is our hope that these materials will help readers approach the classics with greater understanding and serve as a bridge between past and present, East and West.
This archive is a living collection that will continue to grow and evolve over time. Materials may be revised, expanded, or updated as new research, translations, and editorial improvements become available.
