This book explores key aspects of Richard Hooker's philosophical
and theological discourse in the context of currents of thought
prevalent in the 'Magisterial Reformation' of the sixteenth
century. Hooker's treatment of natural law, his dependence upon the
philosophical discourse and traditional cosmology of Christian
Neoplatonism, and his appeal to the authority of patristic sources,
are all closely examined. Challenging the received 'exceptionalist'
model of much of the twentieth-century interpretation of Hooker, in
particular the concept of his supposed defence of the English
Reformation as striking a 'via media' between Rome and mainstream
Protestant reform, W.J. Torrance Kirby argues that Hooker adheres
to principles of 'magisterial' reform while building upon the
assumptions of a distinctively Protestant version of Platonism.
