Sir Matthew Hale, 1609 1676: Law, Religion and Natural Philosophy Hardcover - 1995
by Alan Cromartie; Cromartie Alan; Anthony Fletcher (Editor)
First line
Hale was a noted judge, in a period respectful of judges, a 'man of great authority' for his expertise in law.
From the rear cover
Sir Matthew Hale (1609-76) was the greatest common lawyer of his age, and the most universally admired. Although he held office under Oliver Cromwell, this barely affected his standing in Restoration times. A study of Hale's life and thought necessarily illuminates the central role of the common law in Stuart politics. This book explains Hale's political ideas, and his subtle understanding of the peculiar character of an 'unwritten' law. It also covers his extensive writings on scientific and religious questions, writings which document a shift from puritan to liberal Protestantism. His acute but equivocal response to the science of Descartes and Boyle reveals a fascinating interplay between his 'latitudinarianism' and the new natural philosophy. The result is a unique case study, and a comprehensive portrait of a seventeenth-century mind.
