What are the seven schools (names) of Confucian philosophy?
Q. I'm confused about these schools: Are they by rulers like Zhou? Or are these schools like "ethics" or "harmony"? Could the schools be: literati, legalism, taoism, yin yang, mohism, logician. If so, where is the seventh? Help!

A. 1) Kudos - that list took awhile to create even using cut & paste. 2) All religion is a social contract where "believers" agree to conform to the same traditions, concepts and mores. The question as to which group has the "truth" depends on what you mean by "true". Your question is equivalent to asking which board game is the fairest - has the most truth. There are 1000's of board games with different rules and outcomes. The question of "fairness" is too general for an answer. Likewise for religion, the question of truth is too general. I could probably find something truthful about any religion. 3) You need to define "truth". One brother takes a truck from another brother.

What do you think about the Philosophy of Mozism ? Does it make sense to you?
Q. Mo Tzu or Mo Zi used to be the chief officer of the state of Sung and had about 300 followers. The main belief of Mohism is that universal love will benefit the people at every level. Mo Tzu advocated thrift, actively condemned war, and attacked music and rituals. He thought that it was too expensive to make musical instruments or to hold special events. While the kings, dukes, and officials were enjoying the music, the people were starving because of the expense of the musical instruments. From his utilitarian arguments, the attacks against war, and the tone of his writing, we can know that Mo Tzu represented the working class, or even the slaves at that time. Even though Confucianism advocated the equality of all class, it tended… [cont.]

A. I like Moism, Mo Tzu is the hippy of Chinese philosophy. Like the hippies, they took their free love a bit too far, threatening familial relationships and people's needs to feel special and feel that other specific people in their life are special. Metaphysically speaking Mo Tzu's theory is sound; if everybody loves, and is loved, the world would be a better place. However, this seems a bit unrealistic. When the Beetles sang 'all you need is love' they were expressing the same unrealistic metaphysical utopia. People need more than love, they need dynamic relationships. People need to feel, and be free to feel, the full range of human emotion. If I was forced to pick between Moism and Confucianism, I would pick Moism. Confucianism,… [cont.]
