Mozi: the Man, the Consequentialist, and the Utilitarian
Mendenhall, Grace H.
Mendenhall, Grace H.
Abstract
The most notable and recent comparative studies of Mozi have classified the ancient Chinese philosopher as a divine command theorist and consequentialist. In reconsidering this controversial debate, this paper finds that Mozi, in fact, meets the qualifications of classical utilitarianism and, in fact, may even espouse a proto-rule-utilitarian theory of ethics.
