"This is a full translation of the Mo-tzu by Ian Johnston. The text is clearly presented with an admirable consistency in the translation of key terms making it a useful philosophical resource. Ian Johnston also provides a brief introduction, a decent bibliography and in-text commentary for the more difficult and obscure passages. Both he and Penguin Classics should be applauded for having made this all too elusive text available at a reasonable price to amateur enthusiasts of ancient Chinese philosophy." - Amazon Customer Reviews

The philosophies of an ancient Chinese master

Very 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 Mo— ethics, anti-imperialism, and a political hierarchy based on merit—remain as relevant as ever, and the work is vital to understanding ancient Chinese philosophy.
