Mozi was a Chinese philosopher, logician, and essayist who founded the school of Mohism during the Hundred Schools of Thought period. He promoted universal love, social order, the will of heaven, sharing, and honoring the worthy. Mohism was practiced in many states during the Warring States period but declined under the legalist Qin dynasty. The philosophy of Mozi stood in opposition to Confucianism and Daoism and faced challenges during the Han dynasty, eventually fading into obscurity.
