Un'opera fondamentale dell'antica filosofia cinese torna in vita nell'avvincente e definitiva traduzione di Ian Johnston, nuova per Penguin Classics. Si sa molto poco del Maestro Mo o della scuola da lui fondata. Tuttavia, il libro contenente le sue idee filosofiche è sopravvissuto a secoli di abbandono ed è oggi riconosciuto come un'opera fondamentale dell'antica filosofia cinese. Il libro contiene sezioni che spiegano le dieci dottrine chiave del Mohismo; dialoghi vivaci tra il Maestro Mo e i suoi seguaci; discussione sulla guerra antica; e una straordinaria serie di capitoli che includono i primi esempi di logica, dialettica ed epistemologia nella filosofia cinese. Le idee discusse in The Book of Master Mo - etica, anti-imperalismo e una gerarchia politica basata sul merito - rimangono più rilevanti che mai e l'opera è fondamentale per comprendere l'antica filosofia cinese. Il traduttore Ian Johnston ha un master in latino, un dottorato in greco e un dottorato in cinese ed è stato professore associato di neurochirurgia presso l'Università di Sydney fino al suo pensionamento. Ha pubblicato traduzioni degli scritti medici di Galeno, delle prime poesie cinesi (Singing of Scented Grass e Waiting for the Owl) e delle prime opere filosofiche cinesi (il Mozi e - con Wang Ping - il Daxue e lo Zhongyong). Nel 2011 gli è stato conferito il NSW Premier's Prize e il PEN medallion per la traduzione. A differenza delle traduzioni precedenti, questa versione include il testo completo. Include anche un'introduzione e note finali esplicative. "Un'impresa epocale" - Asia Times "Un risultato magnifico e prezioso" - Journal of Chinese Studies "Eminentemente leggibile e allo stesso tempo straordinariamente accurato... il lavoro di Johnston sarà lo standard per molto tempo" - China Review International "Lettura avvincente e coinvolgente... pur preservando allo stesso tempo la dizione e lo stile retorico del cinese originale" - New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies
