War, Conflict, and Violence in Our Present: Prospects for Peace and Resolution

我們時代的戰爭、衝突、暴力：和平與和解的願景

Throughout human history, war, conflict, and violence - or the threat thereof - have been an endemic feature of the human experience. Such quarrels, according to Thomas Hobbes - a 17th century English philosopher - are the result of the very nature of man. “In the nature of man,” wrote Hobbes (1651),  “we find three principal causes of quarrel: first, competition; secondly, diffidence, thirdly, glory.” Whether or not Hobbes was right, our present moment calls us to engage with the wars, conflicts, and violence at all levels, whether it be community, state, or any other level. Some of the questions worth asking are: what are the sources of conflict? Who is affected and how? What has been the trajectory of the conflict and where might it lead? In asking these questions, ultimately, it is also important to envision a different state of affairs - that of peace and resolution.

在整個人類歷史上，戰爭、衝突和暴力——或隨之而來的威脅——是人類經驗的一個普遍特徵。如十七世紀英國哲學家霍布斯所說，這些紛爭是人類天性的後果。「在人的天性裡，」霍布斯（1651）寫道，「我們觀察到紛爭的三個基本原因：首先是競爭，其次是差異，再者是榮耀。」無論霍布斯所言是否正確，這個時代裡，從社群、國家到所有一切層級的、各種形式的戰爭、衝突和暴力，正在將我們捲入其中。值得提出的問題是：這些衝突的根源是什麼？誰受到了影響、又是如何被波及的？這些衝突如何發生、將走向何處？在提出這些問題的同時，最終還必須設想另一種狀態——和平與和解。
