Based on a discussion of Louis Bouyer's thesis about the metaphysics of the Reformation in The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism, this essay considers the methodological and hermeneutical issues involved in enquiring into the metaphysical commitments of Reformation theology. A case study of the theology of the Reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli is employed for the argument that Reformation metaphysics was a hybrid of elements pertaining both to a nominalist and a participatory ontology. This argument is then taken further by a reflection on the history of reception of the metaphysical complexity which is at the heart of the Reformation legacy.

复杂的遗产：路易斯·布耶和宗教改革的形而上学

本文基于对路易斯·布耶 (Louis Bouyer) 关于宗教改革精神和形式的形而上学的论文的讨论，考虑了探究宗教改革神学的形而上学承诺所涉及的方法论和解释学问题。改革者 Peter Martyr Vermigli 的神学案例研究被用于论证宗教改革形而上学是与唯名论和参与性本体论相关的元素的混合体。然后，通过反思作为宗教改革遗产核心的形而上学复杂性的接受历史，进一步推进了这一论点。
