Mozi’s Jianai(兼愛) and Environmental Education in the Age of Climate Disaster

This study was intended identify wisdom in Mo-tzu that would go beyond today's developmental natural view as the unequal consequences of global environmental destruction intensify. Mozi says that it is righteous to benefit all and that this is in line with the will of heaven. This view of nature gives rise to his pragmatic view of education. We can see that the educational ideology based on Mozi's Jianai(兼愛) requests the transformation of the view of nature in modern environmental education and that concepts such as non-community, theft, burial, and heaven and earth be reinterpreted using a specific method. In particular, it is necessary to reinterpret the view of nature suggested by the classics to improve reflection, and integrated environmental (natural and human) thinking, which are sub-areas related to the concepts of environmental community or reflection and insight. These in turn encompass aspects of the national curriculum, such as environmental consciousness, environmental views, environmental ethics, participation and responsibility, consideration, cooperation, autonomy, self-reflection, and environmental (natural and human) thinking.
