摘要

赖因霍尔德·尼布尔被公认为基督教现实主义之父和和平主义的坚定批评者。在《基督教世纪》(The Christian Century)中,尼布尔与他的兄弟H.理查德(H.Richard)进行了一次著名的交流,他为加入战斗以对抗邪恶的必要性进行了辩护,而不是选择非暴力的超然态度,最终篡夺了上帝决定最终事务的权力。然而,尼布尔从未支持激进的正义战争学说。为了调和基督教对爱的掌控与普遍罪恶所带来的严酷权力现实,尼布尔强调了谈判从基督教和平主义到支持干预主义政策的钟摆两个极端之间距离的必要性。本文认为,这不是他道德信念的模糊性的表现,而是他敏感地运用语境中的道德和政治判断作为行使神学责任的产物。

Reinhold Niebuhr and the Christian realist pendulum
Reinhold Niebuhr is widely acknowledged as the father of Christian realism and a staunch critic of pacifism. In a famous exchange with his brother H. Richard in The Christian Century, Niebuhr defended the necessity of entering the fray of battle to combat evil as opposed to opting for non-violent detachment that ultimately usurps God’s authority to decide on final matters. Niebuhr, however, never endorsed an aggressive Just War doctrine. Striving to reconcile the Christian command of love with the harsh realities of power resulting from universal sinfulness, Niebuhr emphasised the necessity of negotiating the distance between the two extremes of a pendulum swinging from Christian pacifism to the endorsement of interventionist policies. Rather than this being an expression of the ambiguity of his moral convictions, this paper argues that it is a product of his sensitivity to applying contextual moral and political judgement as an exercise of theological responsibility.
