Summary "墨子" by Di Mo is a philosophical work written in ancient China, likely during the Warring States period. This treatise examines ideas around governance, ethics, and the importance of wise leadership, with a focus on the notion of meritocracy. The text is attributed to Mozi (墨子), the founder of Mohism, who advocated for practical and rational approaches to societal governance. The opening of "墨子" introduces the concept of valuing and respecting officials and scholars, emphasizing that a ruler's neglect of capable individuals can lead to the downfall of the state. It articulates the importance of wise governance, citing historical examples of rulers who succeeded through the promotion of merit and virtue. The passages reflect on the responsibilities of leadership and the dangers of corruption and incompetence, setting a philosophical foundation for the discussions that follow in the work. The ideas presented align with the central themes of Mohism, advocating for a just and prosperous society through the proper recognition of talent and moral integrity.
