Description

Modern Honor presents a rigorous philosophical examination of honour as a concept within Western thought, tracing its intellectual decline whilst building a compelling case for its contemporary rehabilitation. The book addresses a central tension: Western societies value honour's influence yet remain sceptical of its authority. Cunningham argues that honour can be reconciled with core democratic ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity by reframing it around three interconnected elements - character (being), relationships (relating), and activities and accomplishment (doing). This integrated vision offers a nuanced defence of honour that acknowledges modern sensibilities whilst restoring its intellectual credibility. As part of the Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory series, this work contributes significantly to contemporary moral philosophy by demonstrating how honour need not conflict with progressive social values. The book engages with historical perspectives on honour whilst proposing frameworks applicable to modern ethical discourse, making it essential reading for philosophers, ethicists, and scholars interested in the foundations of moral theory and social values.

Key Features

Modern Honor is volume 22 in the Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory series, positioning it within established philosophical scholarship on moral foundations.

The book develops a three-part conception of honour centred on character, relationships, and accomplishment that bridges traditional honour culture with contemporary democratic ideals.

Cunningham reconciles honour with Western values of liberty, equality, and fraternity by demonstrating how honour can function compatibly within modern democratic societies.

This Routledge publication offers rigorous philosophical analysis suitable for academic study in ethics, moral theory, and the history of philosophical ideas.

The work addresses the intellectual dismissal of honour in Western thought and provides a substantive philosophical defence of its enduring relevance.
