Mohist texts(in history of philosophy): Ancient Chinese philosophical writings from the Mohist school (founded by Mozi around 470 BCE), which emphasized universal love and rigorous argumentation.
Pre-modern thought(in history of philosophy): Philosophical and intellectual traditions that existed before the Modern period (generally before the 1600s), including ancient Chinese, Greek, and medieval philosophy.
Projection (in philosophy)(in methodology and philosophy of interpretation): Assuming that modern concepts or ways of thinking apply to older or different cultures without evidence they actually used them that way.
