Is it appropriate to honour and admire people who have created
great works of art, made important intellectual contributions,
performed great sporting feats, or shaped the history of a nation
if those people have also acted immorally? This book provides a
philosophical investigation of this important and timely question.
The authors draw on the latest research from ethics, value theory,
philosophy of emotion, social philosophy, and social psychology to
develop and substantiate arguments that have been made in the
public debates about this issue. They offer a detailed analysis of
the nature and ethics of honour and admiration, and present reasons
both in favour and against honouring and admiring the immoral. They
also take on the important matter of whether we can separate the
achievements of public figures from their immoral behaviour.
Ultimately, the authors reject a "onesize-fits-all" approach and
argue that we must weigh up the reasons for and against honouring
and admiring in each particular case. Honouring and Admiring the
Immoral is written in an accessible style that shows how philosophy
can engage with public debates about important ethical issues. It
will be of interest to scholars and students working in moral
philosophy, philosophy of emotion, and social philosophy.
