Chapter 884 Enlightenment Doctrine

Xu Ruo first asked: "You all think that princes, generals, and generals have kindness, so how about this horoscope?"

Everyone thought, of course, isn't this a copy of Shangxian?Even if the emperor can be chosen, how can a mere prince be considered a fart?

Xu Ruo asked again: "If the system of the world remains the same, what is the meaning of peace between princes and generals?"

"It's nothing more than that you can be the emperor, I can be a prince, and he can be a nobleman. Then, in this case, if the Mohist school is just for this kind of prince, what is the difference from those princes and nobles?" ?”

"Under the same system, self-interest will harm others. Being a prince means that the interests of thousands of farmers will be deprived by you. If you benefit yourself, you will harm the interests of others."

"That's why I say that self-interest is not altruism at this time, but self-interest in the paradise is altruism."

"So, can the princes and nobles take the initiative to change the system of the world, put aside all the wealth and power they have acquired, and actively make the world a system that is self-interested and altruistic?"

If this question was asked a few years ago, although everyone would have answered no, they would inevitably feel that this might be propaganda, and that there might be real gentlemen among the nobles.

However, after the meeting at the pool, the princes and nobles slapped almost everyone who still had illusions, and everyone laughed when they faced this question again.

"They are like the crusts that stick to the pot when steaming rice, and they won't come down without a shovel."

"Yes."

"They're not going to give up on their own."

Xu Ruo smiled and said, "So, isn't the meaning of the Mohist's existence very clear? Because they will not give up their interests under this system that benefits themselves but harms others, so many people are required to sacrifice themselves to pull them down. Create a new world."

"Exactly, the people are the gods, and what the people want is the will of heaven. Zimozi once said that it is necessary to rely on the supervision of ghosts and gods to achieve the will of heaven. If the people are gods, then relying on the supervision of ghosts and gods is to rely on the people."

"Since the Mohist is the four-horse vanguard to maintain the will of heaven, he is the messenger of ghosts and gods, or the messenger of heaven. The people are heaven, and you and I Mohist are angels. Overcoming thorns and thorns, we have truly created a rational method of knowledge. Love each other, benefit each other, and benefit yourself is the world of altruism."

"Only by making the world benefit greatly can everyone benefit greatly. Otherwise, the system and the world will not change, and if some people benefit, more people will lose."

"Princes and generals, of course there is no such thing. But the system of princes and generals exploiting the people of the world to support one person remains unchanged, so we cannot be princes and generals. Zi Mozi said that officials are given the power of salary in order to get things done. If it is successful, then the so-called prince and general are just people who are hired by the people to get things done."

"As for what the world should look like in the future, and what kind of people can achieve self-love and self-interest and altruism objectively without being subjectively altruistic... It was also discussed at this meeting."

"Before this goal is achieved, self-interest is harm to others, so we need a group of angels who are not self-interested and only benefit others."

"After this goal is achieved, Mohists will naturally not need to exist at that time. But now, they must exist."

Xu Ruo's words were all based on the content of this enlarged meeting in Sishang. Many problems were solved at the meeting, the program was redefined, and another cryptic idea was expressed: once the world is settled as one, the Mohists will From the vanguard to the whole people's party, we deny all kinds of injustices that will appear in the new era after the feudal patriarchal clan is banned, and regard it as an era in which everyone gets rich according to his ability and self-interest is altruistic.

In other words, once the bourgeois enlightenment revolution is completed, Mohists will not continue to move forward, but believe that everything in the new era is an eternal and universally applicable principle.

What will happen in the future will be pursued by future generations.

Before the reunification of the world, Mohism will focus on absorbing idealists, will strictly distinguish between Mohists and non-Mohists, and use the established general trend to form the final blow to the old era.

By the end of this enlarged meeting, Shi had been hiding in the Mohist school for more than [-] years, laying the groundwork and layout for a long time in advance, and finally completed a comprehensive revision of the Mohist ideological system.

The equality of sovereign equality between countries mentioned by Mozi about "non-offensive" is revised as the equality of human beings by birth.

Unify Mozi's righteousness and interests, and amend it to oppose the class theory of aristocratic privileges.

Mozi's love for each other and mutual benefits are revised into the economics and jurisprudence of the Enlightenment theory: subjective self-interest and objective altruism after the overthrow of the feudal system.

In the new era, the ethical system of self-interest and innocence, and the rationality of getting rich will prevail. Taking risks and getting rich will be the greatest respect and respect for Tianzhi, and this will be the new ethical subject after unification.

Mozi's theory of each according to his strengths, division of duties, and doing what he likes is preserved as the budding theory of true freedom in the more distant future.

Use Mozi's frugality to revise the power seizure jurisprudence under the enlightenment theory that wealth is created for labor to increase wealth.

Revise Mozi's understanding of ghosts and gods, and revise the people as gods, so that the supervision of the people replaces the supervision of ghosts and gods, and the people are equal to ghosts and gods are equal to the emperor of heaven.

Modifying Mozi's non-offensive into a unified one, the ultimate solution to non-attack is to have no one to attack.

Revise Mozi's heavy righteousness to a spiritual aristocrat's spirit of self-sacrifice and the sanctity of willingness to sacrifice, and use the fanaticism of the petty bourgeoisie as the driving force for this great change in the world.

Mozi’s universal love is revised into a subjective love based on self-love, and the principle of unity of righteousness and benefit is used to deduce that subjective love is virtue, while objective self-interest and others are the way. Subjective love or not depends on oneself, and it will not affect the future system of the world and benefit from each other.

Mozi’s advocacy, that is, what is above is all what is not, is revised into a democratic and centralized system, and "upper" is virtualized as the overall will of Mohism and realized as "giant". As the executor of this overall will.

To revise Mozi's virtuousness, with the help of the early "recommendation of the three to teach the sages, not for the virtuous, but for the sake of accomplishing things" is revised to mean that the existence of officials is the public servants of the people, and it is for the purpose of benefiting the people. A special profession that gets things done.

The synonym of Mozi is revised to the inevitability and necessity that after the world is unified, it is necessary for the book to be on the same track as the text car.

Revise the will of Mohism into rationality and objective laws, integrate Taoism, and converge into natural philosophy and enlightenment sociology.

The Taoist self-transformation of all things is distorted into the moral hysteresis under the general law of social development—that is, the morality of the old age is not suitable for the new era. If the self-transformation of all things can be achieved in hundreds of years, but it can be relied on Explain the rationality of the art of knowing, shorten the time of self-transformation, and establish a new morality.

He distorts the illusion that the sages of the peasant family work side by side with the people and that the market is equal to the price of goods, and turns it into a utopian and petty bourgeois fantasy, and expresses a clear-cut attitude against this utopian fantasy.

Some of these corrections were made by Mozi when he was still alive.

Some were done slowly after Mo Zi passed away.

Some were incomprehensible when they were spoken out at the time, and they were not spoken out until Sishang's industry and commerce developed and the commodity economy sprouted.

Some have laid out all the reasons needed for the front in advance, and waited until they really took power to integrate them together.

The reason why the unification of self-interest and altruism that benefits each other has not been completed until now is precisely because this principle did not make sense before.

After Congshi joined the Mohist school, the overall revision idea is as follows: to benefit the world, a strict organization is needed. The material conservation critique crushed the rebellious Mo's theory that the land is the only source of wealth and industry and commerce just turn water into ice. The development of industry and commerce in Sishang and the establishment of new laws and regulations can allow people all over the world to understand the subjective through the industrial and commercial system of Sishang. After learning the principles of self-interest and objective altruism, it is concluded that the system of the old age is unreasonable, and a conclusion must be overthrown in order to unite love, friendship, mutual benefit, self-interest, and others.

After going around in a circle, I finally returned to the most quintessential Mohist words of "universal love and mutual benefit", but changed the subjective "universal love and altruism" into "objective altruism" and "subjective mutual love", thus Completed the revision of the Mohist theory, transformed it into a standard bourgeois enlightenment theory, and laid the foundation for the new ethics in the future-after destroying the feudal patriarchal system, it is glorious to seek profit, it is reasonable to make a fortune, and the owner of a big workshop is objective altruism, labor and Taking risks to get rich is to obey the will of heaven and benefit oneself and the people.

Let Zhu Xia destroy all feudal, patriarchal and pastoral relationships.

It is necessary to cut off all kinds of feudal fetters that bind people to their natural superiors as soon as possible and most ruthlessly. It makes people have nothing but naked interests and ruthless "interest transactions". got engaged.

The sacred outbursts of emotions such as the morality of a gentleman and the enthusiasm of a scholar should be submerged in the icy water of self-interested plans.

To convert human dignity into exchange value, to replace innumerable chartered and self-made liberties with a conscienceless freedom to trade.

Exploitation masked by patriarchal patriarchal affections and political fantasies must be replaced by open, shameless, direct, and blatant exploitation.

Let the big businessmen, workshop owners, landowners, and possibly degenerate Mohists who have already obtained the first pot of gold in the Sishang New Deal, create for themselves according to their own appearance and the direction that is most beneficial to them. A new world, and hatch a new morality that this new world conforms to.

Just to achieve this goal, a group of people with gentleman morality and scholar enthusiasm need to sacrifice themselves and change the world.

These last gentlemen and scholars who have morality, enthusiasm, sacrifice and altruism, either...sacrifice before victory; or they will also be submerged in the wave of egoism and profit transactions in the future and change themselves.

Today's Mohists are still a group of subjective altruists, but the world they want to achieve is a world that is objectively altruistic in name.At least, this is the easiest choice until the new world has not released its full potential. The road of true synonymous equality and love is too difficult to walk. If you don’t have that level, you are sure that you will fail, so you chose early compromise.
