List of scripted and interview episodes planned for Mohism

Professor can we get an updated list of episodes we can expect to see for Mohism and the planned interviews ?

 

Here were the tentative episodes listed for these episodes from a year ago 

 

Standards for life

Pacifism

Philosophy of language and reasoning (several episodes)

So how many scripted episodes can we expect for the Mohists?

Mohism

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.
