Abstract: The forthcoming exposition delves into Mozi’s philosophy of Universal 
Love (兼愛, jian'ai) and its profound impact on Chinese civilization. Mozi (墨子, 
c. 470 BCE – c. 391 BCE) is a leading light in Chinese philosophical discourse 
of his time. At the heart of his idea lies the notion of impartial care, 
advocating that all human endeavors ought to originate from an unwavering 
foundation of undistinguished concern. This doctrine is instrumental in shaping 
a distinctive ethos grounded in the ethical and political aspirations for 
societal enhancement. Unbiased love becomes fundamental to his intellectual 
framework, acting as the benchmark for all logical actions. As Chinese 
philosophical traditions began engaging with Western thought in recent times, 
Mohist reasoning experienced a revival, reinforcing the notion that Chinese 
philosophical traditions also possess an analytical inclination. Our goal in 
this talk is to explain how Mozi's understanding of love embodies an idea of 
benevolence rooted in a rigorous epistemological construct.
