Question

Are there still mohists?

Answer 1

Mohism or Moism (Chinese: 墨家; pinyin: Mòjiā; literally "School of Mo") was a Chinese philosophy developed by the followers of Mozi (also referred to as Mo Di; 470–c.391 BC). It evolved at about the same time as Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism and was one of the four main philosophic schools during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (from 770 to 221 BC). Although it DISSAPEARED during the Qin dynasty, Mohism was at one time seen as a major rival to Confucianism.i think there's no mohist anymore.

Answer 2

Mohism was an influential philosophical, social, and religious movement that flourished during the Warring States era (479-221 B.C.) in ancient China. Mohism originates in the teachings of Mo Di, or "Mozi" ("Master Mo," fl. ca. 430 B.C.), from whom it takes its name. Mozi and his followers initiated philosophical argumentation and debate in China. They were the first in the tradition to engage, like Socrates in ancient Greece, in an explicit, reflective search for objective moral standards and to give step-by-step, tightly reasoned arguments for their views, though their reasoning is sometimes simplistic or rests on doubtful assumptions. They formulated China's first explicit ethical and political theories and advanced the world's earliest form of consequentialism, a remarkably sophisticated version based on a plurality of intrinsic goods taken as constitutive of human welfare. The Mohists applied a pragmatic, non-representational theory of language and knowledge and developed a rudimentary theory of analogical argumentation. They played a key role in articulating and shaping many of the central concepts, assumptions, and issues of classical Chinese philosophical discourse.

Mohism springs from the teachings of Mo Di, or Mozi ("Master Mo"),[1] about whom little is known, not even what state he was from. The s**+ Ji, a Han dynasty record, tells us only that he was an official of the state of Song and that he lived either at the same time as or after Confucius (d. 479 B.C.), with whom he is often paired by Qin (221-206 B.C.) and Han dynasty (206 B.C.-219 A.D.) texts as the two great moral teachers of the Warring States era. Most likely, he flourished during the middle to late decades of the 5th century B.C., roughly contemporaneous with Socrates in the West. ‘Mo’ is an unusual surname and the common Chinese word for "ink." Hence scholars have speculated that this was not Mozi's original family name, but an epithet given him because he was once a slave or convict, whose faces were often branded or tattooed with dark ink.

its peak in the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C.,   but the Mohists died out in imperial China because their Warring States reformist political and social ideals had become irrelevant.
