Honour emerges at the centre of our modern world in Kwame Anthony Appiah's The Honor Code. Over the last few centuries, new democratic movements have led to the emancipation of women, slaves and the oppressed. What drove these modern changes, Appiah argues, was not imposing legislation from above but harnessing the ancient power of honour from within. He explores the end of the duel in England, the tumultuous struggles over footbinding in nineteenth-century China and the uprising of ordinary people against Atlantic slavery. Finally, he confronts the horrors of "honour killing" in contemporary Pakistan, where rape victims are murdered by their relatives. He argues that honour, used to justify the practice, can also be the most effective weapon against it. Intertwining philosophy and historical narrative, Appiah has created a dramatic work, which demonstrates that honour is the driving force in the struggle against man's inhumanity to man.

一個社會如果沒有值得尊敬的人,就沒有榮譽感,就會道德淪喪
評分除瞭介紹決鬥、纏足、黑奴陋習消亡的曆史,書中對honor killing也有深入的剖析,看得很心痛,希望道德變革早點到來,把這些殘害婦女的惡行統統埋葬。
評分還能再無聊一點嗎?
評分A very interesting, thought-provoking book. The intrinsic connection between honor and morality can be further explored.
