Expression of concern for ‘Mesoporous amorphous FeOF nanococoons for high-rate and long-life rechargeable sodium-ion batteries’ by Shi Yan Fu et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2015, 3, 16716–16727.
Abstract
The term “utilitarianism” in English translates into Chinese as gongli zhuyi. When Liang Qichao and Hu Shi first imported the concept of utilitarianism into the study of Mohist thought, the term was initially translated as shili zhuyi or leli zhuyi. The use of gongli zhuyi in Mohist studies was established only through the efforts of Yan Fu and Wu Yu to break down the negative connotations of gongli in traditional Chinese culture and through the systematic research and scholarly influence of Feng Youlan. The study of Mohist thought within the framework of utilitarianism as gongli zhuyi is now common practice throughout academia with few scholars objecting to the use of this term.
