Mozi

An EPUB archive of pre-Qin Mohist writings on universal concern, opposition to aggression, merit, frugality and logical debate, with notes on chapter groups and edition boundaries.

Version 2026-08-03通用Public-domain text; verify the edition and redistribution terms

Scope of this edition

Mozi preserves arguments about universal concern, opposition to aggression, promoting the worthy, frugality, unity and Heaven's will, alongside logical debate, defensive engineering and technical material. The chapters differ in genre, preservation and argumentative purpose, so the archive should not be reduced to one modern category.

This page provides an EPUB archive for chapter lookup, concept comparison and study of pre-Qin thought. It does not promise a modern translation, complete commentary or one uniform base text; follow the downloaded contents and edition information.

Reading route

Choose a group about universal concern or opposition to aggression and record its claim, evidence and intended objection. Then compare it with merit, frugality or Mohist Canons material, keeping ethical argument, logical analysis and technical description in separate note sets.

GUIDE

Mozi EPUB reading route

Use the archive for genre-aware reading of Mohist arguments, logical passages and technical descriptions. Preserve the different contexts instead of flattening the whole work into one theory.

Before you start

  • Use an EPUB reader with a table of contents, search and bookmarks.
  • Choose a theme such as universal concern, opposition to aggression, merit, frugality or Mohist logic.
  • Keep the assigned base edition nearby for formal study.
02

Quick start

  1. 01

    Group the chapters

    Browse the contents and mark arguments, parables, defensive accounts and Mohist Canons material before comparing concepts.

  2. 02

    Build a concept table

    Record universal concern, opposition to aggression, merit, unity, frugality and Heaven's will with their conditions and goals.

  3. 03

    Separate claim and evidence

    Note the claim, evidence and intended objection in each passage, including how analogy, deduction or history advances the argument.

  4. 04

    Preserve the edition

    Save chapter, passage and file version information because survival, division, characters and annotations vary by base text.

Usage tips

  • Different chapters have different genres and preservation histories; one modern label does not describe every section.
  • Ancient ethical and technical material is historical text, not a direct substitute for current engineering, policy or ethics guidance.
  • Check the assigned base text, translation and chapter range before citation.
Troubleshooting and uninstall

What if an unfamiliar chapter name appears?

Search the title, read its surrounding passages and classify it by genre and theme; chapter grouping differs across editions.

What if the same concept seems to change meaning?

Record its object, argumentative goal and nearby evidence in each passage instead of forcing one fixed translation.
