'''Mohism''' or '''Moism''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|oʊ|ɪ|z|əm}}, {{zh|c=墨家|p=Mòjiā|l=School of Mo}}) was an ancient [[Chinese philosophy]] of ethics and logic, rational thought, and scientific technology developed by the scholars who studied under the ancient Chinese philosopher [[Mozi]] (c. 470 BC – c. 391 BC), embodied in an eponymous book: the ''[[Mozi (book)|Mozi]]''. Among its major ethical tenets were altruism and a universal, unbiased respect and concern for all people regardless of relations or affiliations. The ideology also stressed the virtues of austerity and [[utilitarianism]].
It evolved at about the same time as [[Confucianism]], [[Taoism]] and [[Legalism (Chinese philosophy)|Legalism]], and was one of the four main [[Hundred Schools of Thought|philosophic schools]] from around 770–221 BC (during the [[Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[Warring States period|Warring States]] periods). During that time, Mohism was seen as a major rival to Confucianism. While its influence endured, Mohism almost disappeared as an independent school of thought as it transformed and integrated into sects of Taoism in the wake of the cultural transformations of the [[Qin dynasty]], after the 200s BC.
