Mohism, as a book-category, encompasses works centered on the Chinese philosophical school founded by Mozi (c. 470–391 BCE) and its later interpreters: classical texts and translations of the Mozi and Mohist canons, philological and historical studies, and contemporary analyses applying Mohist doctrines—such as universal or “impartial” love, consequentialist ethics, meritocratic governance, frugality, opposition to ritual waste, and a pragmatic theory of defense and warfare—to modern moral, political, and social questions. The category includes primary-source editions, commentaries, comparative philosophy (especially Confucianism and Legalism), studies of Mohist logic and argumentation, works on ancient Chinese science and engineering associated with Mohist practical learning, and fiction or applied policy writing that imagines Mohist responses to contemporary dilemmas. Overall it appeals to readers interested in classical Chinese thought, moral philosophy, political theory, and the intersections of ethics, social reform, and practical problem-solving.
