True our plans are a bit different now and above all more concrete! The episodes will look like this:
24 Introduction to Mohism[Feb 23]
25 Mohist consequentialism [March 9]
26 The Confucian-Mohist debate [March 23]
27 Mohist Political Philosophy [April 6]
28 Interview [April 20]
29 Mohist epistemology [May 4]
30 Mohist logic [May 18]
31 Mohism and religion [views on Heaven, ghosts, fate] [June 1]
32 Interview [June 15]
And then it's on to Daoism, followed by Legalism.
