Features: This book systematically examines, analyzes, and discusses the life and activities, academic thoughts, and historical impact of Mozi. It also explores and argues the main reasons for the emergence, development, and decline of Mozi's thought system from the perspectives of the economic and political structure, scientific and technological level, and ideological and cultural environment of the era. Regarding the entire structure of Mozi's thought system and some unresolved issues in the study of Mozi's philosophy, the author, while drawing on various opinions, makes relatively objective analyses and arguments based on the original meaning of Mozi and empirical materials from the historical context. This enables Mozi's scientific thought, social and political thought, epistemology, and logic to form an organically integrated and internally logically structured philosophical framework.
