emerged, Qin Shi Huangdi
(259-210 B.C.E.).

As is the ying-yang nature
of history, the new emperor
attempted to wipe out any trace
of Mozi’s benevolent phi-
losophy by instituting a strict
monolithic doctrine, which in-
cluded a rewriting of antiquity to
suit his needs. If anyone tried to
bring back an accurate but con-
trary view of the past, they and
all their relatives were immedi-
ately put to death. Although his
reign only lasted for 15 years, his
dictatorial spirit is very much
re ected in today’s China.

e stark contrast between
Mozi and Qin can be viewed
as re ective of the con ict we
experience both on a societal and
personal level. As sentient and
empathetic beings, our attempts
to search for the truth and pro-
mote the common good, unen-
cumbered by politics, prejudice,
superstition, or any other con-
cern, has always been met with
formidable opposition. Seeing
things in that light, today’s
problems are not as compli-
cated as they may have seemed
at rst blush. e remedy may
be as simple as our willingness
to pursue truth and science
wherever it may take us, or the
determination to live our lives
in accordance with principles
of love, inclusion, and empathy.
We should have no doubts that
the world we presently face is
in a more precarious position
than at any time during our
lifetime. But it is also true that
we can meet these challenges by
recognizing the need for resolve
and by displaying the courage to
stand up for our values.
