伤害不会发生在孤立的人类身上，而是发生在由不同生物组成的世界上。本文提出了如何将世界和世俗条件构建为“安全主体”的问题。它探索了三种可能的途径：拒绝人类中心主义；扩大现有的道德类别；并采用“新唯物主义”本体论和伦理学。最终，它主张融合这些途径的关键要素。这为新的伤害概念（“杀世界”）提供了基础，专门用于反映对世界的伤害和世俗的条件。这个概念的价值通过一个经验例子得到了证明：“雨林切尔诺贝利”案例。文章的结论是，如果我们要全面了解国际安全所面临的危害的严重性，就必须采取世俗的方法。
Harm does not happen to humans in isolation, but rather to worlds composed of diverse beings. This article asks how worlds and the conditions of worldliness should be framed as ‘subjects of security’. It explores three possible pathways: rejecting anthropocentrism; expanding existing ethical categories; and adopting ‘new materialist’ ontology and ethics. Ultimately, it argues for a fusion of the key elements of each of these pathways. This offers the basis for a new concept of harm (‘mundicide’) specifically intended to reflect harms to worlds and the conditions of worldliness. The value of this concept is demonstrated in the light of an empirical example: the ‘Rainforest Chernobyl’ case. The article concludes that a worldly approach is necessary if we are to capture the full enormity of the harms confronted by international security.
