Abstract
Anatol Rapoport's decision to leave the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor has sometimes been portrayed as an act of protest against United States involvement in the Vietnam War. However, he personally viewed this decision as an "escape from responsibility" (Rapoport, 2000, pp. 145-147). This article reviews his writings before his departure to better understand why he decided to leave. Though he came to see political organization and civil dissidence as the only effective means of opposition, his writings reveal that at one point he felt optimism about a particular form of activism rooted in his scientist role. However, as demonstrated by his debates with the "strategist" community, the limits of the antiwar teach-in movement and the results of the AAAS survey on science and values, his attempts to renegotiate the boundaries between "scientific deterrence" and "moral pacifism" seemingly struggled to overcome the constraints of professional academic discourse.

阿纳托尔·拉波波特(Anatol Rapoport)离开密歇根大学安娜堡分校(University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)的决定有时被描述为抗议美国卷入越南战争的行为。然而，他个人认为这个决定是“逃避责任”(Rapoport, 2000, pp. 145-147)。这篇文章回顾了他离开前的作品，以更好地理解他为什么决定离开。尽管他开始将政治组织和公民异议视为唯一有效的反对手段，但他的著作显示，他一度对根植于他的科学家角色的一种特殊形式的激进主义感到乐观。然而，正如他与“战略家”团体的辩论、反战宣教运动的局限性以及美国科学与价值学会调查的结果所表明的那样，他试图重新谈判“科学威慑”与“道德和平主义”之间的界限，似乎难以克服专业学术话语的束缚。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
