After a century-long hiatus, honor is back. Academics, pundits, and
everyday citizens alike are rediscovering the importance of this
ancient and powerful human motive. This volume brings together some
of the foremost researchers of honor to debate honor's meaning and
its compatibility with liberalism, democracy, and modernity.
Contributors-representing philosophy, sociology, political science,
history, psychology, leadership studies, and military
science-examine honor past to present, from masculine and feminine
perspectives, and in North American, European, and African
contexts. Topics include the role of honor in the modern military,
the effects of honor on our notions of the dignity and "purity" of
women, honor as a quality of good statesmen and citizens, honor's
role in international relations and community norms, and how
honor's egalitarian and elitist aspects intersect with democratic
and liberal regimes.
