Ideas of Marriage and Divorce in the 16-17 Century Europe : Law and Ethics

本研究的主要目的是揭示中世纪晚期和近代早期在人文科学领域引起广泛兴趣的婚姻和离婚思想。基于历史文献，我们重建了这些思想在世俗和宗教背景下的智力冲动和一些美学。Maeno通过多层次的历史解释来思考生命周期中日益增长的婚姻意识。这种意识是在公众关于推动道德在社会行为中的争论中萌芽的，并通过世俗地强调夫妻之间的内在关系而发展起来，与现代的爱情婚姻制度有着内在的联系。铃木的分析有两个方面：第一个方面是关于中世纪的和谐思想和新兴起的诚意思想之间的关系，第二个方面是关于社会转型的。他将弥尔顿的四个离婚诗与西塞伊塔斯联系在一起，将一种精神上的冲动转化为一种在婚姻中提供慰藉的内在冲动。他在同时代人中不受欢迎，尽管那个时代因政治和神学差异而分裂，但他暴露了社会对破坏社区团结的恐惧，以及对建立世俗和宗教中心的立场日益恶化的道德冲动。

The primary purpose of this research is to throw some light upon ideas of marriage and divorce, which aroused a variety of interests in the fields of humanities in later Middle Ages and early Modern period. Based upon historical documents, we reconstruct the intellectual impulses and some of the aesthetics of those ideas both in secular and religious contexts.Maeno considers growing awareness of marriage in life cycle with a multilayered historical explanation. The awareness was burgeoned by public debate on propelling morality in social behavior, and was developed by secular emphasis on internal relationship between husband and his wife, inherently connected with modern institution of a love marriage.Suzuki's analysis has two aspects : the first concerning the relationship between a Medieval idea of concordia and a newly-risen idea of sinceritas, the second concerning social transformation. He associated Milton's four divorce tracts with sinceiitas, a spiritual urge into an interiority that provides consolation in marriage. His unpopularity among the contemporaries, though the age was rifted by political and theological differences, comes front social fear of destructing communal unity and of deteriorating moral urge for inscribing the position for establishing the secular and religious center.
