Abstract

Abstract:This article argues that Thomas Usk centralizes the natural law in his Testament of Love to attempt to bring about a cultural reformation. Throughout his text Usk weaves the natural law into his elaborate model of service, outlining ethical and political concepts that he believes should structure and inform social life in his contemporary London. In doing this, Usk hopes to inspire his culture to abandon the vicious practices that he thinks led to his own imprisonments in the 1380s.

“我，托马斯·乌斯克，叛徒”：爱的遗嘱与服务的伦理与政治

摘要：本文认为，托马斯·乌斯克在《爱的遗嘱》中集中体现了自然规律，试图促成一场文化变革。在他的整个文本中，乌斯克将自然法编织到他精心设计的服务模式中，概述了他认为应该在当代伦敦构建和告知社会生活的道德和政治概念。通过这样做，乌斯克希望激励他的文化放弃他认为导致自己在1380年代入狱的恶性做法。
