| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
John Milton claims temperamental incompatibility between spouses to be a legitimate reason for divorce. He enlarges the realm of charity to support rather than criticize divorce on grounds of no humane interaction. In fact, Milton went further than the family laws in 1990's which introduced divorce by mutual consent on the no-fault basis. But many of Milton's interpretations of the biblical texts should be regarded with suspicion or as idiosyncratic as was treated by his contemporaries. Milton also argued that God ordained marriage to be an institution where men are provided with companionship and comfort as the remedy of solitude. Milton’s stress on the emotional aspects of marriage matches our trend that animosity between spouses should be reduced as a matter of "public reason" responsive to the complexities of private values. Divorce was rooted in religious sentiments of human sanctity rather than in reasonable views to human nature that are indispensable to the public debate.
