Three schools of Mohism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three schools of Mohism ( Chinese  墨家 三 派 , Pinyin Mòjiā sānpài , also 三 墨 , Sān Mò ) is a term from Chinese philosophy that denotes the three schools of later Mohism in the middle and later period of the Warring States , which followed the Master's death Mo (Mo Tu) occurred. It is generally believed that the three main representatives are Xiangli Qin相 里 勤, Deng Ling邓 陵, and Wu Hou五侯, although there are different views among scholars about the division of the three schools. On one point, however, there is agreement, namely that they all belonged to Later Mohism ( 后期 墨家 , Hòuqī Mòjiā ).

The historical truth behind the eight schools of Confucianism and the three schools of Mohism "is still the subject of much scholarly speculation and debate".
