非攻

Denouncing Unjust Wars

反对、禁止不义的战争。“非攻”是墨家的基本主张之一。墨家认为,违反道义的攻伐战争有着严重危害。不仅被攻伐的国家遭到极大破坏,发动战争的国家也会因战争造成大量的人民伤亡及财产损失,因此应该禁止不义的战争。墨家也通过实际的行动反对并阻止国家间的相互攻伐,并研究了用以防御攻伐的战术、器具。

Opposition to unjust warfare is one of the basic concepts in the Mohist School of thought. It regards immoral and aggressive wars as acutely harmful to society. Not only does the country being attacked suffer great damage, the people of the country that starts the war also suffer serious casualties and property losses. Therefore, Mohists held that unjust wars should be prohibited. They took specific measures to prevent aggressive wars between nations, and conducted research into defensive tactics and armaments.
