Beschreibung

"Honor" is viewed by many as a pre-modern and thus obsolete concept. But if honor is understood in terms of an historically variable relationship of recognition, then it is the case not simply that traditional forms of honor survive in (late-)modern societies. Rather, one can also perceive in modernity transformed modes of honor, in which it is associated with prestige or status, or with the idea of universal human dignity. Moreover, these latter conceptions of honor might provide important resources for the development of a broadly democratic ethos. The contributions in this interdisciplinary volume undertake a critical exploration of the concept and phenomena of "honor," with an eye to their possible relevance to the present.
