墨子

简介

The book collects the teachings of Mozi and his school; of an original 71 chapters, 53 survive. Its core consists of ten doctrines, mostly preserved in three versions each, perhaps from different branches of the school – among them “Impartial Caring”, “Against Offensive Warfare”, “Moderation in Funerals” and “Against Fatalism”. Each doctrine is tested by standards of argument, above all its benefit to the people. Later chapters, known as the Mohist Canons, deal with logic, geometry and optics, and others with the defence of cities. Neglected for centuries, the text was rediscovered in the Qing dynasty and is now read as an early form of consequentialist ethics.
