Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

On the whole,there are greater differences between Mozi's universal love and utility and the family ethics so much so that Mozi is reprimanded directly by Mencius as Having No Father.But in reality,Mozi adopted the ethical thought of Piety and fraternal Love as well as Confucian's Home Countries Isomorphism.In the meantime,Mozi based the family ethics on universal love and utility,trying to mitigate the contradiction and mix them together and constructing his family ethics.This has enriched the ancient family ethics and made a landmark in the Chinese family ethics history development.
