==Logic in China==
{{Main|Logic in China}}
In China, a contemporary of [[Confucius]], [[Mozi]], "Master Mo", is credited with founding the [[Mohism|Mohist school]], whose canons dealt with issues relating to valid inference and the conditions of correct conclusions. In particular, one of the schools that grew out of Mohism, the [[School of Names|Logicians]], are credited by some scholars for their early investigation of [[formal logic]]. Due to the harsh rule of [[Legalism (Chinese philosophy)|Legalism]] in the subsequent [[Qin dynasty]], this line of investigation disappeared in China until the introduction of Indian philosophy by [[Buddhism|Buddhists]].
