Comparison of Justice from War Ethics between Early China and Greece

This article takes the debate on the differences in "war ethics" between the very early East and the West. Although both sides take great importance to the justice of a war, the ethics of early Greece mainly represented by Socratic and Plato prefer the definition of wars' justice, while the Chinese side takes Confucius and Mengzi as representatives, focusing on the impact of "Ren(仁)" on the justice concept. This article attempts to illustrate the argumentation processes of both sides, then comparing their similarities and differences, and finally draw a conclusion.
