Mohism

The Warring States school of impartial concern, benefit, and criticism of wasteful partiality.

Mohist impartial caring is often compared with consequentialism. The comparison is instructive and it is not a translation. The school also produced work on language, argument, and the natural world. It belongs in the atlas so that “outcomes” are not introduced as a modern European invention with no other history.
