二九、羅素論戰(zhàn)爭

（二月十二日）

… In a word, it is the means of repelling hostile aggression which make hostile aggression disastrous and which generate the fear by which hostile nations come to think aggression justified.

Between civilized nations, therefore, non-resistance would seem not only a distant religions ideal, but the course of practical wisdom. Only pride and fear stand in the way of its adoption. But the pride of military glory might be overcome by a nobler pride and the fear might be overcome by a clearer realization of the solidity and indestructibility of a modern civilized nation.

〔中譯〕

總而言之，反抗敵國的侵略將使這種侵略變成一種災(zāi)難，它使敵國產(chǎn)生憂慮，從而認為自己的侵略行為是正義的。

所以，在文明國家中，不爭主義似乎不僅是久遠的宗教理想，而且是實踐智慧的源泉。只有自傲和憂慮是接受不爭主義的障礙，但軍事榮耀可以由更高尚的自豪去克服。對現(xiàn)代文明國家堅不可摧的清醒認識，則有助于克服憂慮感。

Bertrand Russell乃當(dāng)代哲學(xué)巨子，亦發(fā)此言，可見吾所持論初非夢想妄語也。
