Abstract
The letter from Georges Florovsky to Davis McCaughey is a reflection after reading the Report The Era of Atomic Power: Report of a Commission (1946). Florovsky gives his own arguments against the development of research concerning nuclear weapons and their use. These include: treating an attempt at a technical transformation of the world as a human claim to put oneself in God’s place, i.e., to be a God-man. Another group of indictments against the use of the atomic bomb concerned ethical issues and human responsibility for the war. Florovsky’s letter is his contribution to the discussion on the threat posed by the atomic bomb.
Georges Florovsky 致 Davis McCaughey 的信是在阅读《原子能时代》报告后的反思：委员会的报告》（1946 年）后的反思。弗洛洛夫斯基提出了自己反对发展核武器及其使用研究的论点。这些论点包括：把对世界进行技术改造的尝试视为人类把自己放在上帝的位置上，即成为上帝人的主张。另一组反对使用原子弹的控诉涉及伦理问题和人类对战争的责任。弗洛洛夫斯基的信是他对原子弹威胁讨论的贡献。
