摘要(Abstract)：

作为一种在正式场合和仪式下进行的庄严行为，宣誓普遍存在于私人领域和公共领域，且早已有之。在中世纪晚期至近代早期欧洲，基于神学渊源，宣誓行为渗透到日常生活的很多方面并散发着神圣的力量，宣誓者因此受到道德和良心的约束，但宣誓的行动效能在特定情境下会有不同指向。16世纪上半叶，英国亨利八世政权利用宣誓实施和强制推行宗教改革，而英国人民也通过宣誓反抗、抵制、否定、默许宗教改革。亨利八世宗教改革中宣誓的核心地位、运作机制和莫尔拒绝宣誓行为的心理进路，可以透视宣誓在近代早期英国公共生活领域的政治意涵。

• (4)后结构主义哲学家认为，语言不仅仅是对现实的反映，它还构成了现实。如果说宣誓是宗教改革的一种语言，那么宣誓之所以重要，不仅因为宣誓传达了宗教改革，而且因为宣誓构成了宗教改革。宣誓与英国16世纪宗教改革所传播的神学和政治理论一样，都是关于改革的实施方法和反应。

• (10)关于宗教改革对英格兰王室的影响，凯文·夏普(Kevin Sharpe)观察到，宗教改革最终可能通过赋予议会权力以及通过将宗教统一与政治忠诚联系起来，从而削弱了国王的权威。亨利八世在其统治期间试图以国王的身份将宗教和政治权威结合起来，这意味着反对国教的臣民最终会反对支撑国家的王室权威。尽管如此，英国学界目前的主要观点是，亨利八世的改革至少在短期内扩大了国王的权力。参见Alan G.

• (23)历史学家、传记作家尼古拉斯·哈普斯菲尔德(Nicholas Harpsfield)与莫尔的第一次联系大概是在1540年代的牛津，在那里他成为莫尔女婿威廉·罗培尔(Wiliam Roper)的门徒。1550年，当他在爱德华六世的统治下流亡国外时，他与安东尼奥·邦维西(Antonio Bonvisi)一起住在卢万，后者是莫尔最亲密的朋友之一。在这里，他还与莫尔其他的家人和朋友有联系，包括约翰·克莱门特(John Clement)和威廉·拉斯特尔(William Rastell)。哈普斯菲尔德的The Life and Death of Sir Thomas More大概是在1557年完成，被莫尔早期研究者视为与拉斯特尔的The Workes of Sir Thomas More in the Englysh Tonge(1557年出版)齐名的理解莫尔的仅有的材料。参见N.
