Mòjīng de luójíxué 墨經的邏輯學

‘The Logic of the Mòjīng’, Shěn Yǒudǐng’s most influential study of Mohist logic, published in book form in 1980. Expanding and revising his earlier Mòbiàn de luójíxué, the work presents the canons and explanations as a sophisticated body of logical theory and remains one of the most important modern studies of the Mòjīng. It is especially associated with attempts to interpret Mohist reasoning using concepts drawn from formal logic and the theory of judgement. The article '"Yī shǎo yú èr ér duō yú wǔ” de jiěshì' published separately can be viewed as an appendix or case study.
