On the Implications of Righteousness in the Mohist Conception of Universal Impartial Love
论墨家兼爱观的正当内涵及其现代意义

The Mohist conception of universal impartial love highlights the ancient precept of righteousness. The Mohist assertion of harming no one and loving fellow humans stresses the concept of equality and endorses the primitive idea of democracy. In these aspects,it not only surpasses the paradoxical Confucian idea of humane love in large measure,but also helps us correct some defects in the modern Western ideas of rights and equality.
