 Major philosophical texts of early Chinese philosophy such as the Analects, the Mozi, and the Laozi, were written in the Warring States period, the historical period known as the period of the “Hundred Schools of Thought” (百家). Many philosophical schools competed against one another for their visions for personal happiness, virtue, ideal society, stable government, and the peaceful world. Some of these schools of philosophy developed inspiring and stimulating theories of the mind and emotions. The following sections will survey and explain how philosophical texts of the Warring States period, specifically those of Confucianism, Daoism, and Mohism, describe and discuss emotions in their theories of the mind, morality, and human nature.
