Excerpt from The Works of George Berkeley, D.D., Late Bishop of Cloyne in Ireland, Vol. 2 of 3: To Which Is Added, an Account of His Life; And Several of His Letters to Thomas Prior, Esq. Dean Grevais, Mr. Pope, &C
I. T as following day as we sat round the tea-table, m a summer parlour which looks into the garden, Alci phron after the first dish turned down his cup, and re clining back on his chair proceeded as follows: Above all the sects upon earth it is the peculiar privilege of ours, not to be tied down by any principles. While other phi losophers profess a servile adherence to certain tenets, ours assert a noble freedom, differing not only one from another, but very often the same man from himself. Which method of proceeding, beside other advantages, hath this annexed to it, that we are of all men the hard est to confute. You may, perhaps, confute a particular tenet, but then this affects only him who maintains it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the idea of honor, a concept the author suggests is now largely based on appearance rather than genuine belief. Drawing from a wide range of historical sources, the author discusses the history of honor and shows how it has been employed throughout time as a concept to judge and shape both personal and public behavior. Noting that concepts of honor have been central to the value systems of aristocratic and religious societies throughout history, the author argues that ethics and behaviors previously thought to be driven by belief are often in truth based on ideas of public image and the desire to appear virtuous. This book will be of interest to readers investigating the history of ideas, sociology, psychology and ethics.
