LIBRARY

Silk Road Virtual Library

PDFs are catalogued alphabetically by subject.
Please note: This site editor did not intentionally go about collecting a library. Below are some of the more interesting works I found doing research on various topics. It is far from a complete library. There are some PDFs of rare and out of date books below. I do not necessarily agree or disagree with the view points of the writers. Furthermore this is a non-profit site. The books below are for personal use only as the copyright date on some may still be in effect. If anyone has issues with publications below, please write to me and state those issues. The following works below are posted for educational purposes only and do not reflect the beliefs or opinions of this site's editor. I  believe all of the works posted below are useful for research especially in regards to the Silk Roads, however some books posted relate to individuals and events in Africa and the early Americas.

Mohism

Mohism or Moism (Chinese: 墨家; pinyin: Mòjiā; lit. 'School of Mo') was an ancient Chinese philosophy of logic, rational thought and science developed by the academic scholars who studied under the ancient Chinese philosopher Mozi (c. 470 BC – c. 391 BC) and embodied in an eponymous book: the Mozi. It evolved at about the same time as Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism, and was one of the four main philosophic schools from around 770–221 BC (during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods). During that time, Mohism was seen as a major rival to Confucianism.  - Wikipedia quoted: 2021.10.05
