Abstract
Peace is a spiritual phenomenon, but it evolves through various disciplines – psychology, economics, biology, and so on. This is because human beings are complex in nature, and various facets of human existence are correlated with these disciplines. Peace is an integration of all aspects of humanism in a state of equilibrium. This chapter discusses peace as imbibed in ideas of microeconomic equilibrium. Economics is so often disapproved by spiritual thinkers as being a science of self-centeredness even after decades of progress in the subject matter after Alfred Marshall's “Principles of Economics.” This seems justified as today an ordinary man is still concerned with individual welfare first. Therefore, peace needs to be seen from this micro-perspective first so that the society may move to higher objectives later once the individuals are in equilibrium and have attained peace in this narrow but indispensable sense.
和平是一种精神现象,但它是通过心理学、经济学、生物学等不同学科演变而来的。这是因为人类的本质是复杂的,人类存在的各个方面都与这些学科相关。和平是人道主义各方面在平衡状态下的综合。本章讨论微观经济均衡思想中所蕴含的和平。即使在阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔(Alfred Marshall)的《经济学原理》(Principles of Economics)问世后,经济学领域取得了几十年的进步,但精神思想家们仍然经常不认可经济学是一门以自我为中心的科学。这似乎是合理的,因为今天一个普通人仍然首先关心个人的福利。因此,首先需要从微观的角度来看待和平,以便在个人处于平衡状态并在这种狭隘但不可或缺的意义上实现和平之后,社会可以向更高的目标迈进。
