Philosophers of Ancient China Ancient China was a place where states were often at war with each other.But it was also a time when there were many great philosophers.Confucius(551 BC-479BC)is the philosopher whose influence has been the greatest.He stressed the importance of kindness,duty and order in society.Chinese society was influenced by these ideas for more than 2,000 years.
Mencius was a thinker whose teachings were very similar to those of Confucius.Mencius was born in 372 BC.His father died when he was young,and he was brought up by his mother.He became a student of Confucius’ s ideas,and was then given an important position in the government of a state.However,when he saw that the ruler was not following his advice,he resigned.For many years he travelled from state to state,teaching the principles of Confucius.He then became an adviser to another ruler.
He spent his last years preparing a book of his teachings called The Book of Mencius.Mencius believed that the reason why man is different from animals is that man is good.He taught that if the government was kind,then people would be good.He believed that people were more important than rulers,and hated the state when it treated people badly. Mozi was another teacher who was very influential.Born in 476 BC,he
came from a family which was very poor.He became famous for his unusual clothes and behaviour.Mozi founded the philosophy called Mohism.In some ways,his beliefs were similar to those of Confucius.For example,he considered that government was most important.As a result,he spent many years trying to find a state where people would follow his teachings.Mozi believed that all men were equal.His idea of love was different from the Confucian idea of kindness.Mozi taught that we should love all human beings and look after those who are weaker than ourselves.He hated the idea of war.Mozi died in 390 BC., 古代中国的哲学家 古代中国各诸侯国之间战事连连,但那也是一个产生了许多很大的哲学家的时期。孔子(公元前551年—公元前479年)是最具影响力的哲学家。他强调仁爱、责任和社会秩序的重要性。这些思想一直影响了中国社会两千多年。 孟子是一位思想家,他的学说和孔子的很相似。孟子生于公元前372年,他早年丧父,由其母亲抚养成人。他继承了孔子的思想,后来在一个诸侯国身居要职。然而,当看到统治者并不采纳他的建议时,他便辞官而去。他周游列国多年,到处传播孔子的思想。之后他成为另一个诸侯国国君的谋士。他把最后几年时间都花在了写《孟子》上,这是一本有关他的学说的书。孟子认为人之所以不同于动物是因为人是向善的。他教导说如果政府施行仁政,人民就会向善。他认为人民比统治者更重要,并憎恨虐待民众的国家。 墨子是另一位极具影响力的先哲。公元前476年,他出生于一个贫困家庭。他因其与众不同的着装及行为而著名。墨子创立了墨家思想。在某些方面,他的思想和孔子的有些相似。例如,他认为政府最重要。因此,他花了很多年的时间试图找到一个民众信奉他的学说的国家。墨子认为众生平等。他的“博爱”思想与孔子的“仁爱”思想不同。墨子教导我们要爱所有的人,照顾那些不如我们的弱者。他憎恨战争。墨子于公元前390年逝世。 The Industrial Revolution In Europe,in the second half of the eighteenth century,there was an important change in society.This change was called the “Industrial Revolution”.Until then Europe had been a farming society.With the Industrial Revolution,factories
