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.
