Galia Dor received her doctorate in East Asian Studies from Tel Aviv University, where she has lectured on Chinese and Japanese philosophy, art, and material culture.
""If there is one object in Chinese civilization whose significance surpasses its physical presence, it is the gate. Architecturally, the gate is as varied in size and design as the structures it is associated with, while, in the sphere of religion, it is a physical and metaphorical icon. When it comes to philosophical discourses on the gate, Galia Dor breaks new ground with her reading of the gate as the in-between of the formed and formless. In her profoundly rich and sublimely gratifying work, Dor draws upon a wide spectrum of materials to reveal how the Chinese transformed the humble gate into one having 'psychocosmic' potential. Intertwining the fields of architecture, history, politics, religious studies, and philosophy, this book is a breathtaking example of cross-disciplinary scholarship, shedding new light on both the gate and early Chinese thought and material culture."" — David Chai, author of Zhuangzi and the Becoming of Nothingness
