The Essential Mozi by Mo Zi
An abridged translation of the influential classical Chinese text Mozi covering the ethical and political writings and the dialectical texts.
The annotated translation (commendably, Chinese terms are rendered using Pīnyīn including tonal marks) is elegantly crafted and indeed mindful of past terminological debates in the relevant scholarship..Both students and scholars of East Asian religion will have much to gain from this master translation. * Lukas Pokorny, Religious Studies Review *
Both students and scholars of East Asian religion will have much to gain from this master translation. * Lukas Pokorny, Religious Studies Review *
It offers an exceptional and philosophically informed translation of the text. It is easily among the most important works of recent decades in Mohist studies. * Yun Wu, Dao *
