Resumo: Mozi first came to the English missionary Joseph Edkins’ attention in 1858 as a Confucian heretic. Subsequently, the Dutch missionary Johann Jakob Maria de Groot translated Mozi’s Funerary Doctrine, which has strong religious overtones. Protestantism missionaries were represented by Joseph and Groot, whose renderings of Mozi were replete with theological interpretations. Mozi was imagined as a religious canon, containing Christian doctrine, by the two missionaries who were keen to find commonalities between Mozi and Christianity. They also used Mozi’s status as a Confucian heretic to criticize Confucianism, the archenemy of Christianity. Through this religious imagination of Mozi, more missionaries and sinologists joined Mozi’s translation, and the journey of the canon’s transmission to the West started.

Posteriormente, o missionário holandês Johann Jakob Maria de Groot traduziu a Doutrina Funerária de Mozi, que tem fortes tonalidades religiosas. Joseph e Groot, que representavam os missionários do protestantismo, interpretaram Mozi em uma variedade de narrativas teológicas. Os dois missionários, que procuravam conexões entre Mozi e o cristianismo, consideravam Mozi um cânone teológico, contendo doutrina cristã. Eles também atacaram o confucionismo, a antítese do cristianismo, apontando que Mozi era um herege, na tradição confuciana. Através dessa imaginação religiosa sobre Mozi, mais missionários e sinologistas se juntaram à tradução de Mozi, e a jornada da transmissão do cânone para o Ocidente começou.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências2024-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/x-mobipocket-ebookapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14633TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesp; v. 47 n. 4 (2024): Pensamento oriental; e0240044TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 47 No. 4 (2024): Eastern thought; e0240044TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 47 Núm. 4 (2024): Pensamiento oriental; e0240044TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 47 No. 4 (2024): Pensée orientale; e0240044TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; V. 47 N. 4 (2024): Pensiero orientale; e02400441980-539X0101-3173reponame:Trans/Form/Ação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPenghttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14633/15554https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14633/15555https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14633/15556https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/14633/15557Copyright (c) 2023 TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesphttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLin, JiaxinYu, ZihanHu, Honghui2024-03-13T12:40:22Zoai:ojs.revistas.marilia.unesp.br:article/14633Revistahttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phptransformacao@marilia.unesp.br1980-539X0101-3173opendoar:2024-03-13T12:40:22Trans/Form/Ação (Online) - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
