MO-TI
c.472 - c.391 BC
Chinese Philosopher

Mo-ti, or Mo-tzu, was a Chinese philosopher whose doctrine of universal love challenged Confucianism for a considerable time during China's history.

Mo-ti was first a Confucianist but became increasingly attracted for a life of simplicity. His ideas challenged the special claims of parental authority.

Mo-ti developed the idea of an utopian state, and he also introduced logical systems into Chinese philosophy.
