ABSTRACT

The one and only ideal of the Moti school is impartial love for all. Mencius says, Motze loves all men without discrimination. Motze's teaching is based on regard for selfish gain. Motze's failure is due to the fact that he sees only the equality of men, and entirely ignores the fact that differences in relationships do exist. One noteworthy feature of Motze's teachings is his conception of 'Mutual Profit'. Motze recognizes all exertion to be a form of labour, emphasizing 'each doing what he can', and 'each working as his strength permits'. Motze is interested in the human factor, and contends that without social organization there is no way to unify standards of life. Motze teaches that the state owes its being to the common consent of the individual peoples. As Motze very reverently considers the mind of God as the criterion of all affairs, he evolved a religious system very similar to Christianity.
