This book examines the notion of honor with an eye to dissecting
its intellectual demise and with the aim of making a case for
honor's rehabilitation. Western intellectuals acknowledge honor's
influence, but they lament its authority. For Western democratic
societies to embrace honor, it must be compatible with social
ideals like liberty, equality, and fraternity. Cunningham details a
conception of honor that can do justice to these ideals. This
vision revolves around three elements-character (being),
relationships (relating), and activities and accomplishment
(doing). Taken together, these elements articulate a shared
aspiration for excellence. We can turn the tables on traditional
ills of honor-serious problems of gender, race, and class-by
forging a vision of honor that rejects lives predicated on power
and oppression.
