The Law of Honor
Files
Description
Few challenges to legal regulation are more substantial than those posed by honor and the sentiments that surround it. The same is true of reason. Honor and reason are often at odds. This chapter will consider honor—and honor’s role as a threat to law, morality, and reason—and what this reveals about the nature and limits of the law. There are also ways in which honor and its sentiments can be mobilized in the service of the law. This discussion will start where moral life meets us, already up and running.
