ABSTRACT Glenn D. Paige pioneered in the revolutionary development of a far-reaching transformation of science, academia, and society from a killing to a nonkilling worldview, values, and attitudes. For six decades, anthropology has been accumulating scientific empirical evidence and rational arguments demonstrating that nonkilling societies exist, thereby rebutting the simplistic biological determinist myth that human nature inevitably and universally generates violence and war. Nevertheless, Hobbessians persist in their echo chamber advertising and celebrating the innate depravity of the human species as apologists for war and peace resisters. This systemic bias operates in synergy with the American industrial-military-media-academic complex and culture, the latter exemplified by a revealing comparison of war and football. With great intellectual courage and creative thinking, Paige critically challenges the anachronistic Hobbesian paradigm and offers a far more compelling and positive alternative for sustainable peace in the future.

一位人类学家对 Glenn D. Paige 挑战和平研究的问题的回答

摘要 Glenn D. Paige 开创了科学、学术界和社会从杀戮到非杀戮的世界观、价值观和态度的深远转变的革命性发展。六十年来,人类学一直在积累科学经验证据和理性论证,证明非杀戮社会的存在,从而驳斥了简单的生物决定论神话,即人性不可避免地普遍产生暴力和战争。尽管如此,霍布斯主义者仍然坚持他们的回声室广告,并作为战争与和平抵抗者的辩护者来庆祝人类与生俱来的堕落。这种系统性偏见与美国工业-军事-媒体-学术综合体和文化协同运作,后者以战争和足球的揭示性比较为例。
