Abstract
I consider the effects of Henry VIII’s attempts to exert control over the intellectual activities of his articulate and argumentative subjects, whose free speculation he attempted radically to limit, while legitimising his own decisions by insisting that they were the result of discussion and the advice of others. I shall discuss the ways in which both Thomas More and John Fisher contrived to “converse” within a perilously maintained community of trust. I would also like briefly to consider the implications of an alternative Platonist stoicism that disputes, if not the reality, at least the significance of the material world.
