Benefiting People Predicates Ingenious—Mohism of Engineering Ethics
The attention and research of Mohism on ancient science and technology is unique among the vari-ous philosophers and the hundred schools of thought.As the core of Mo-tse's engineering ethics,"benefiting peo-ple predicates ingenious"takes both sci-tech engineering and ethical norms into account,and advocates that"re-spect for virtuous and talented people"and"reduction of expenses"and"universal love"for the purpose of"bene-fiting people".Mohism of engineering ethics has some defects due to era limit and the level of science and technol-ogy at that time,but the ideology still presents practical significance.
