Ery little is known about Master Mo, or the school he founded. However, the book containing his philosophical ideas has survived centuries of neglect and is today recognised as a fundamental work of ancient Chinese philosophy. The book contains sections explaining the ten key doctrines of Mohism; lively dialogues between Master Mo and his followers; a discussion of ancient warfare; and an extraordinary series of chapters that include the first examples of logic, dialectics and epistemology in Chinese philosophy. The ideas discussed in The Book of Master Moethics, anti-imperialism, and a political hierarchy based on meritremain as relevant as ever, and the work is vital to understanding ancient Chinese philosophy.

good condition. A little dog-eared; foxing.
