The following article from Renaissance Studies, ‘Conscience in Renaissance moral thought: a concept in transition?’, by MWF Stone, published online on 19th August 2009 in Wiley InterScience (http://www.interscience.wiley.com) and in the September 2009 issue (23:4), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor, Andrew Hadfield, and Blackwell Publishing Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to overlap with the following texts: Rudolf Hein, ‘Conscience: Dictator or Guide? – Meta-Ethical and Biographical Reflections in the Light of a Humanist Concept of Conscience’, in Bernard Hoose, Julie Clague and Gerard Mannion (eds.), Moral Theology for the Twenty-First Century. Essays in Celebration of Kevin Kelly (London: T&T Clark, 2008), pp. 34–50; and Rudolf Hein, ‘Gewissen’ bei Adrian von Utrecht (Hadrian VI.), Erasmus von Rotterdam und Thomas More: ein Beitrag zur systematischen Analyse des Gewissensbegriffs in der katholischen nordeuropäischen Renaissance[‘Conscience’ in Adrian of Utrecht (Pope Hadrian VI), Erasmus and Thomas More: a contribution to the systematic analysis of the concept of conscience in the Catholic Northern European Renaissance] (Munster: LIT, 1999).
