Abstract

Scholars have often focused on the doctrinal and canonical reasons for the lack of a just war tradition in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The consensus seems to be that the Eastern Orthodox Church, for historical as well as theological reasons, has never developed a doctrine for the justification or the containment of war but was rather orientated to the question of peace (albeit without being pacifist) and the theological imperative of deification. There is, however, another reason why just war concerns never found fertile ground in Eastern Orthodoxy. Byzantine political theology carried an anarchistic theocratic dynamic that remained in tension with any effort to sanctify the Empire or its martyrs. Such a perspective has more in common (without being identical) with conceptualisations of just peace or just war as a tradition of ethical restraint on war rather than as a doctrine for the moral justification or legitimation of war.
和平主义与正义战争之间:经济学与东正教政治神学
学者们经常关注东正教会缺乏正义战争传统的教义和教规原因。人们的共识似乎是,由于历史和神学的原因,东正教会从未发展出为战争辩护或遏制战争的教义,而是以和平问题(尽管不是和平主义者)和神化的神学要求为导向。然而,正义战争问题从未在东正教中找到肥沃土壤还有另一个原因。拜占庭的政治神学带有一种无政府主义的神权动力,与任何使帝国或其殉道者神圣化的努力保持着紧张关系。这种观点与正义和平或正义战争的概念有更多的共同之处(但并不完全相同),正义和平或正义战争是对战争进行道德约束的传统,而不是为战争进行道德辩护或使其合法化的学说。
