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

本研究的主要目的是对中世纪后期和近现代早期在人文学界引起各种兴趣的婚姻与离婚观念进行研究。在历史文献的基础上，我们重建了世俗和宗教背景下这些思想的思想冲动和一些美学。Maeno用多层次的历史解释来考虑人们对生命周期中婚姻意识的增长。这种意识是在关于推动社会行为道德的公开辩论中萌芽的，是在世俗对夫妻之间内在关系的强调中发展起来的，这种关系与现代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观念与新兴的真诚观念之间的关系，第二个方面是关于社会转型。他将弥尔顿的四篇离婚短文与真诚联系在一起，一种在婚姻中提供安慰的内心的精神冲动。他在当代人中不受欢迎，尽管这个时代被政治和神学的分歧所撕裂，但他面对的是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地位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 Based upon historical documents, we reconstruct the intellectual impulses and some of the aesthetics of those ideas both in secular and religious contexts.Maeno considers growing awareness of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.
