520 1 $a"In this book, Bryan W. Van Norden examines early Confucianism as a form of virtue ethics and Mohism, an anti-Confucian movement, as a version of consequentialism. The philosophical methodology is analytic, with an emphasis on clear exegesis of the texts and critical examination of the philosophical arguments proposed by each side. Van Norden shows that Confucianism, though similar to Aristotelianism in being a form of virtue ethics, offers different conceptions of "the good life", the virtues, human nature, and ethical cultivation. Similarly, Mohism is akin to Western utilitarianism in being a form of consequentialism, but it is distinctive in its conception of the relevant consequences and in the specific arguments that it gives on its own behalf. The author makes use of the best current research on Chinese history, archaeology, and philology. His text is accessible to philosophers with no previous knowledge of Chinese culture and to Sinologists with no background in philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
