Yang Chu

Yang Chu lived in the 300s B.C.E and was associated with Taoism. You might also know him as a typical philosopher of the classic age of Chinese thought. He has been associated with the Taoists since the rise of official Confucianism and the consolidation of what we now call Taoism. An early ethical egoist alternative to Mohist and Confucian thought, Yang Zhu's surviving ideas appear primarily in the Chinese texts Huainanzi, Lüshi Chunqiu, Mengzi, and possibly the Liezi and Zhuangzi. He founded the philosophical school of Yangism.
