During the chaotic Warring States Period (475 – 221 BCE), when China was divided into numerous small states locked in endless conflict and power struggle, one man spoke for peace and universal love among humankind. This was the philosopher Mo Zi.

As he travelled from state to state to spread his message of peace, Mo Zi stressed the importance of mutual respect, caring for others and many other practical virtues that are still relevant today, more than 2,000 years later.

The Art of Peace compiles the teachings of Mo Zi and, using clear and lively illustrations, makes his wisdom easy to understand and enjoyable for everyone.
