Mo Di, founder of the school of Mohism, is commonly referred
to as Mozi (‘z
i, master, being the ancient title of respect
for a virtuous or learned man). He is believed to have lived
in the 100 or so years between Confucius’ death and Mencius’
birth. His precise dates of birth and death are still under
debate, variously cited as 490–403 BC,
1 468–376
BC
2 and 480–390 BC.
3 Born and raised in the state of Lu,
he served as a minister in the state of Song.

from the lower artisan class, Mozi was nonetheless a well educated
and cultured man.

considered tedious and wasteful, went on to establish his own
school of philosophical thought.
