Chard's 5-14 sees Stapleton into last four
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News Source : Chard's 5-14 sees Stapleton into last four
Skipper Danny Chard ripped through Keynsham's middle order to finish with 5-14 from five overs and help his side to a 39-run home win in the quarter-finals of the Bristol & District Cup.
Only Wickus Germishuizen (32) in the top order was able to establish himself at the wicket as Sandun Dias (2-31 from five), Hamza Sultan-Ali (1-33) and Matt Chidgey (1-35) kept the pressure on to dismiss the visitors for 135.
Earlier, Stapleton's imposing total of 174-6 owed much to an explosive 79 by opener Dias who smashed nine fours and six sixes off just 30 balls.
Chard weighed in with a breezy unbeaten 24 and Sultan-Ali was 23 not out for the home side who will now be away to Claverham in the last four.

TripAdvisor Reviews Gloucester Luk Kwok Hong Kong
Travel Blogs from Hong Kong
Shanghai to Hong Kong
... 8217;s Park, still in the rain & then went to the museum, which was quite good & was free. It had very comprehensive displays of things like ancient Chinese bronze, ancient Chinese sculpture, Chinese painting, Chinese calligraphy, ancient Chinese ceramics, ancient Chinese jade, Ming & Qing dynasty furniture & Chinese & Silk Road currencies. That evening my Chinese tour leader, Michelle & I met our new travelling companion, Patrick, as there ...
Hong Kong - so near, yet so far!
... than we would probably need, but better to have it than not have it.
We turned on our mobile data as the wifi at the station wasn't working, tried to get Google Maps to work, with no luck (it's one of the blocked sites in China), so did a search on how to get from Shenzhen to the border. A forum on Trip Adviser confirmed that it was just a short walk from Shenzhen station, but didn't provide any details as to where this "walk" might happen to start.
Big Buddha
... outdoor seated bronze buddha but it is certainly the largest I've ever seen; seated, standing, bronze, indoor, outdoor or otherwise.
On getting off of the cable car we did an unusually touristy thing and bought a copy of the souvenir photo they take of you as you leave the first cable car station. We also got a couple of extra shots of us with the Big Buddha in the background and standing in front of a green screen holding ceremonial drumsticks. We ...
... develop inappropriate attachments to inanimate objects) and another one selling mouse pads that looked like people's heads and torsos, with mounds of strategically placed cushioning.
I would say we had a good time and it was worth the experience. It was less weird than I thought it would be but also not somewhere I would want to hang around for a prolonged period of time. I bought a cat shaped tissue box cover though, so by no means a wasted experience.
The First Day
... it all the more exciting. I am so looking forward to living out of my comfort zone, albeit with some trepidation.
Had to give myself a quick nap, what with only having a maximum of 2 hours sleep on the plane. After that I made my first trip out in Hong Kong alone, but I was joined by many stares - apparently no-one in the vicinity of Hong Kong has ever seen a blonde, white female. But I'll take it ...

Shakira and Gerard Pique: It's Over!by Free Britney at . Comments
Shakira has reportedly dumped her footballer boyfriend, FC Barcelona star Gerard Pique, after he could not keep it in his pants. While dating Shakira. Amazing.
During his girlfriend's absences from Spain, Pique reportedly cheated on her with a younger woman. She somehow found out about this and they broke it off.
She and Gerard Pique have been dating for six months and quickly became "the most obnoxious couple in football," according to Spanish celeb gossip sites.
They were constantly seen kissing and cuddling and were attached at the hip all summer. But evidently things went south, and she wasn't messing around.
Unlike most WAGs, Shakira doesn't need a soccer star for attention. She's the more famous half of that couple, not to mention older (34 to Gerard's 24).
Being cheated on with a younger woman couldn't have been fun to learn about, but at least the Colombian singer stood up for herself and dumped Pique.
We have some interns who are staff members, S. Just saying.
[Photo: Fame Pictures]
This isn't true at all. They're still very happy together...sadly
They r stil 2getha,thoz r rumourz.
if only david villa and shakira were together he wouldn't cheat on her and they are both cute
eish shit happens
Hey guys wat happen. Shak pls give him 2nd chance like de way cherly gives 4 ashily.
Nah....does this really make a sense...is lik she s lookin 4 a way out of spanish press....but thanks to pique for acting like a fool.
U did well sexy gal never tolerate a cheat,because if a guy say's he love's you he has no right to look at another woman.
La amigos, I think something is wrong with them. Really not going right! As well we will see it as time goes. IF Shak would like to meet guy better, it's really good way to ask of me about heem! Could someone tell this her?
Funny thing is that nothing happened and she tweeted good luck spanish NT and pique
Way to go Shakira... I for one don't tolerate cheating and there is no reason to forgive something like that. I don't know how she truly felt about the guy,but I think she can do an deserves waaaay better. He's ugly and looks older than he is. And apparently is ugly on the inside as well. Stupid guy. Shakira is lovely and talented. What a dumb*** guy

The underlying principle is a micro-roughening process in combination with an organic copper conversion coating for PCB inner layers. The new treatment leads to an improved adhesion between them and the prepregs, thus enhances the peel strenghts of the whole circuit board.
Furthermore, Multibond is also applied to roughen copper layers in order to improve CO2 laser drill energy absorption. This leads to better via quality and enhanced throughput.
To gain a deeper understanding on how Multibond can improve your PCB performance, please contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Dec 13, 2012This was far better than I expected it to be. It was interesting on seeing the inner workings of the Playboy empire. You know the business side. At its core it's really just a an average business game with rather tame sex & nudity. Overall: An OK game worth a quick go if you're curious.
Jun 10, 2012It's kinda good, but it's not that great either. You know that nobody wants to be like Hugh Hefner in a Playboy video game. It's more like a Leisure Suit Larry stripping party, but I'm still a fan of Playboy. Playboy Magazine, Playboy TV, even some former WWE Divas appeared on the covers and video game hotties like BloodRayne and Mortal Kombat's Mileena is kinda cool when they showed their funbags. And by the way, Hef's hair is grey (not black). Somebody please don't play "The Bunny Hop" song! I liked the idea of a Playboy video game, but I was disappointed on why this "Mansion" thing just wasn't the exact M-rated game I was hoping for. Both "BMX XXX" and "The Guy Game" were both messed up and tries to give the fans attention, but since the sales weren't any good, GameFly used to say in the tagline: "Never buy a bad game, again." Although sex in video games might be hella good like Mass Effect 2 and Saint's Row: The Third. But this sex in "Playboy: The Mansion" isn't for me, anymore!… Expand
Suffers from a dire lack of sex appeal. It fails to grab the attention of Sims fanatics while failing to seduce the average gamer. The business aspect is the most entertaining part of the game, if only because it lets you do something besides try and bed a clone army of big-breasted bunnies.
As an eye toward where Playboy came from, The Mansion is a compelling lesson--even the loading screen factoids are fun to read. But as a game, the unpolished graphics and stale gameplay keep the title mediocre at best.
For the most part the game is dry and flat. It fails to capture the excitement and decadence that one would imagine is prevalent at the Playboy Mansion... [But] It's a brilliant glimpse into the inner-workings of the Playboy empire and the industry that it has become.

Just up the Ohio River in Gallipolis, anglers from several states stopped by for some friendly fishing. But there was plenty at stake at the American Bass Anglers One-Day Super Tournament, and one hometown angler made some waves.
The early-morning calm and cool waters of the Ohio River quickly heated up as the competition got underway. Seventy-five anglers from several states weighed in, and looked for the catch of the day, with cash and pride on the line. And a hometown fisherman walked away with the win.
Kevin Martin of Gallipolis said the money will be well spent.
"I'll pay a boat payment I guess," said Martin.
But no matter who takes top prize, the city of Gallipolis came out on top.
Barry Davis says out-of-town fishermen and their families stayed all night in the area, which meant big money for local motels.
It was a good day for fishing, with everyone walking away a winner.
AEP, the city of Gallipolis, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and French Art Colony all helped make the event possible.

Review: The Samsung Galaxy S 4 shows more is not always better
Samsung's new Android flagship is easy to hold and view, but many new software features are only partially baked gimmicks
Samsung's Galaxy S III is a very sweet Android smartphone, arguably the best of its generation. So you have to wonder what Samsung could do to meaningfully push the envelope in the Galaxy S 4 now available at some carriers (Sprint and AT&T) and soon to be offered at others (Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile). After all, Apple's last two models, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, haven't changed the world, even if each version had nice additions and changes. For Apple, the iPhone 4 was the game-changer, just as the Galaxy S III was for Samsung.
The Galaxy S 4 is a better device than the S III, but it too is no game-changer. There are nice enhancements to the S 4, as well as less-than-fully-baked additions. It's easy to recommend the S 4 to any Android user who wants a large screen, but not a mini-notebook like the Google Nexus 7 or even the Samsung Galaxy Note II. However, I don't recommend breaking your current contract to buy it at full price.
[ What Google needs to fix in Android. | Review: The Samsung Galaxy S III versus the iPhone 5. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with InfoWorld's Mobilize newsletter. ]
The hardware capabilities you'll enjoy
What I liked most immediately about the Galaxy S 4 is its refined hardware. The straighter sides (more similar to the iPhone, ironically) make it easier and more comfortable to hold than the S III's rounded and tapered edges.
Although the body is essentially the same size as the S III, the S 4's screen is larger within that expanse, providing even more display area but without the bulkiness. For me, the S 4 is as large as I would want a smartphone to be.
The Galaxy S 4 has boosted other hardware aspects compared to the S III -- as you would expect to happen a year later. Yes, the processor is a bit faster, as are other processing components. And the rear camera is now rated at 13 megapixels, which means more pixels per image and larger file sizes. The image quality is comparable to that of the iPhone 5's 8-megapixel camera. Keep in mind that the quality of the lens and light sensors matter more than the number of pixels captured.
What you'll really notice as a user is the ability to use both the front and rear cameras simultaneously, a cool trick for documentary-style photo essays and videos called dual-shot mode. Plus, the editing tools available are quite sophisticated, turning the Camera app into powerful photo-manipulation software. Shutterbugs will love it.

Here we are again. The Canadian Parliament has voted in favour of sending the air force to Iraq to wage war against the Islamic State. This will be the fifth war fought by Canada since the end of the Cold War: the Gulf War (1991); Kosovo (1999); Afghanistan (2001-2014); Libya (2011); and now Iraq (2014). Since a few Canadian servicemen and women were also involved in Operation Deliberate Force in Bosnia (1995) and the invasion of Iraq (2003), one could even make that seven wars. This is an extraordinary total for a country which enjoys almost complete safety from external attack.

One of the first things my students ask me when I bring up the subject of honor is to give them a short definition. What do I mean by honor? A member of the military recently asked what is academia's definition of honor, as opposed to the military's definition? I found myself immediately jumping to a historical explanation. I talked about how the idea of honor had changed over time. I am supervising a class right now that takes students from the Homeric warrior ideal all the way to Existentialism, in which I suppose the whole idea of honor (or of an ideal) is "absurd." But of course, it is not this type of historical explanation that students are looking for when they ask that question.
The question itself says a lot. We are not quite sure what we mean by honor now. There is less shared understanding of many things in modern liberal society, and certainly honor is one of those ideas for which there is no common understanding. Not only that, but for many it is not an important concept at all, having been replaced with the more democratic "morality." For others, it holds mainly negative connotations–chivalric honor, which reminds us of sexism, warrior honor which sounds dangerous and destructive, and of course the honor of women as understood in modern political Islam, generating violence against women.
But before we can get to the question of whether or not honor can be a useful concept in Western society, we have to have a discussion about exactly what that term means. When I backed up and tried to give my students a more concrete definition, I had the feeling that it was my own personal definition. I told him that honor has an internal and an external dimension. The internal dimension is that sense of integrity and self esteem that says to us "this is what I won't do, not because of any reward or punishment but because this is who I am." The external component strangely contradicts the internal manifestation of honor–it is the social recognition of people of a certain character or with certain behaviors, and of course what is valued in a given society varies. The reason why it seems strangely contradictory is because if we were truly motivated by an internal sense of honor, would we need external recognition of honorable behavior? But of course, the reason for the external signs of honor is to educate, train and shape people to become internally motivated. Without that societal reinforcement, where do people get a strong sense of honor?
I suppose that is why there seems to be a disconnect between the military sense of honor and how the general population thinks about honor. In the military, honor is constantly being "drilled" into people. It may not always take, but overall, it instills a common understanding of what is honorable and helps to guide our military personnel's behavior. Perhaps our over-attention to individual autonomy and privacy has made it hard for any collective sense of honor to be passed down to new generations via recognition.
I would like to hear what other people have to say just about the definition of honor, and I'm excited about collaborating with others on the upcoming volume Perspective on Modern Honor and in the series that Dan Demetriou and I co-edit, Honor and Obligation in Liberal Society: Problems and Prospects. I'm also very excited to have Dan come to visit K-State October 21st as part of the Primary Texts Certificate lecture series. He will face that mixed crowd of military and civilians, both eager to come to a more complete understanding of what honor means to society and what it means to them. Thanks for keeping the conversation going!

Posted honor in the news, philosophy of honorin
One aspect of honor that cuts across many issues is the question of what it takes to fail at being honorable. We can fail to be honorable by not living up to the standards of honorable conduct—this is probably the most natural and familiar way of thinking about it. But there is another way of courting dishonor, which I think is important for how we view negative instances of "honor". By way of parallel, consider Aristotle's definition of courage. We can fail to be courageous by being cowardly, or we can fail by being reckless. Those might be described as emotive or will-based failures. But significantly, one can also fail to be courageous in another way, which doesn't depend on our willingness to act or our passion for doing so. One criterion of bravery (and other virtues) which Aristotle stresses is that it must be done for the sake of what is fine. Additionally, what really is fine is something about which people may be correct or mistaken, such that one might fail to be courageous not by failing to act nor by acting too unthinkingly, but by valuing the wrong things and acting in service of them.
A historical example of this sort of question concerned the 9/11 attackers. Bill Maher was subject to a lot of criticism when he famously rejected the idea that the terrorists were cowards—they stayed on the planes and died for their cause, he argued, so how is it accurate to depict them as cowardly? Even if one accepts that view, however, it is important to remember that 'not-cowardly' is not equivalent to 'courageous'. The actions of the terrorists were vicious for many reasons, and they specifically failed to be courageous because they were done for the sake of wicked ends.
Similarly, it is important for us to remember that it is possible to be dishonorable not only through inaction or lack of care, but by having a perverted sense of what honor requires in the first place. It seems to me that in cases such as so-called "honor killings", or the kind of entitlement and perceived disrespect that seems to have motivated Elliot Rodger's recent rampage in California, this is the operative issue—a twisted sense of what is valuable, what is owed, what is worth living, dying, or killing for. For those of us who, like myself, conceive of honor in general as a positive framework which can provide grounds and motivation for genuine virtue, this is an important distinction.
07 Saturday Jun 2014
Since honor killings are so-called, they present honor theorists interested in rehabilitating honor with perhaps our greatest rhetorical challenge. One strategy would be disassociating honor with honor killings: to say that they are honor killings in name only, but not in fact. As part of that strategy, we might decide to put scare quotes around the phrase "honor killings." A recent, excellent article on honor killings by Aisha Gill exemplifies this liberal use of the scare quote approach.
[A note for non-writers and students: using quotes to mention a phrase qua term (as I did two sentences ago), and using quotes to draw attention to a term (as I do in the next sentence), are different from using scare quotes, which signal that you're not endorsing the attitudes that might come with a sincere use of the quoted term.]
So this post isn't devoted to condemning honor killings so much as making a "meta" point. Suppose a writer
Such a writer will inevitably contemplate using scare-quotes around the phrase "honor killing." I want to argue that the scare-quote approach is incorrect.
My argument is premised on the claim that the word "honor" really is a descriptive term. It is not like "justice," which is a "morally thick" term that has both descriptive and normative content. "Honor," at least in the sense being used in the phrase "honor killings" (both in the mouths of those who condemn it and those who approve of it) simply refers to esteem, good standing, respectability. And these things supervene on the opinion of the honor group. Honor killings really are done for honor. Not faux-honor, but actual honor. Thus, using scare quotes around the phrase "honor killings" is not correct, even for a writer of the sort we're imagining.
Objections and replies
OBJECTION: But these killings are not honorable—in fact, they're dishonorable!
REPLY: Agreed. But honorableness is not the same as honor. Honor is analogous to wealth, or any other goodie (pleasure, freedom, candy, whatever). A capitalist thinks capitalist principles correctly say how the goodie of money should be gained and distributed. A socialist thinks socialist principles say how the goodie of money should be gained and distributed. They both see money as a goodie, but they disagree about the "ethic" that governs that goodie.
Honorableness concerns the correct way to get and distribute the goodie of honor. Unfortunately, honor theory is undeveloped at this point, and there are no handy names such as "socialism" or "capitalism" to denote different comprehensive and integrated theories about what's honorable. All you and I know right now is that, whatever the correct theory is, it doesn't permit honor killings.
Thus, the conscientious writer we're imagining holds that the ethic governing honor says that honor shouldn't be given to those who kill helpless, usually already-victimized girls and women. But just as it would be silly for a socialist to announce that, say, managing hedge funds isn't about money but rather "money," it would be incorrect, even for the conscientious writer above, to say that an honor killing isn't about honor but "honor."
OBJECTION: But we're trying to shame people out of the practice of honor killings through our writing, and using scare quotes around the phrase helps drive home the message that we condemn honor killings.
REPLY: I think that this strategy perpetuates shallow and ultimately unpersuasive talk about values. No capitalist is (or should be) persuaded out of his capitalist beliefs by calling his money "filthy lucre": that filthy lucre still pays the bills. And I doubt any proponent of honor killings will be persuaded out of his ancient beliefs by calling honor killings "honor killings," especially when his honor group continues to honor him for what he does. The debate needs to turn to the ethics of honor. What are the principles that should govern our distribution of honor? Who should we honor, and why? These are questions about the meaning "honorableness": "honorable," like "justice" and unlike "honor," is a morally thick term.
If I'm right about this, here are examples of correct usage:
"According to the U.N., 5,000 women are slain in honor killings every year."
"These 'honorable' killings are often carried out by the victim's family."
"The so-and-so believe these acts to be honorable because of such-and-such." [Acceptable because belief is a propositional attitude, and whatever you put in its scope isn't an assertion of its truth.]

A recent blog post by "resilience expert" Ken Druck connects honor to the aftermath of the tragic UC Santa Barbara shooting last month. In applauding the grieving Richard Martinez for meeting Peter Roger, the gunman's father, Druck says that whereas the old honor code was about revenge and war, the "new honor code" is about "peace and non-violence" and "[m]aking our lives an expression of peace and love."
The false promise of revenge is that hurting or killing someone will satisfy our deepest sense of grief, loss and violation. Revenge and retribution masquerading as honor is often the popular driving force for justifying war and hatred. […] Making our lives an expression of peace and love, rather than hatred and revenge, may not be an easy thing to do. But it is a good and noble, as well as civil and honorable choice we must learn to make if we're to break the cycle of unprocessed grief and violence.
The entry was re-posted by the Good Men Project, which seems irresistibly attracted to any content that rebrands honor.
It isn't at all clear to me what is distinctively "honorable" about peace, non-violence, and healing. That doesn't mean I'm against those things, of course. It seems that there are many ways something can be good without being honorable. Not being honorable doesn't make it dishonorable. It's a good thing that Mr. Martinez and the father of his son's killer got together to commiserate and discuss ways to prevent future spree shootings. I applaud them for it. I "honor" them for it. It's certainly not easy to do what they did. But this has nothing to do with honor. We don't have to associate all good things with honor.
Rebranding is different from reclaiming what philosophers call a morally "thick" term. Reclaiming seems to retain the descriptive content, but replaces the negative evaluative content with a positive spin: "queer" is an example of successful reclaiming. In contrast, rebranding changes the descriptive content of the term in order to redeem it.
Rebranding is also different from rehabilitating. Like some contributors to this blog, I want to rehabilitate honor. But that doesn't mean changing the meaning of the term. Rehabilitation has a reclaiming aspect—we want to restore the positive spin "honor" used to have. But rehabilitation does this by arguing that honor has always referred to a particular sort of good. So, for instance, I think that honor has always concerned the virtues around ethical agonism: essentially, honor is about doing conflict right. That's perfectly recognizable as "honorable," so it's not rebranding.
I guess I have a conservative streak when it comes to usage. But rebranding "honor" seems to me to be a bad idea for a few reasons I think I can articulate.
First, we have a robust vocabulary for the goodness of peace, non-violence, and healing. Moreover, there are well-established ethical approaches (such as care ethics and Christianity) that speak to these values and give them primacy. Calling peace, non-violence, and healing acts "honorable" adds nothing to our understanding of their goodness.
Second, rebranding "honor" erodes our sense of the distinctive moral contribution of honor. A rebrander of honor is caught in this dilemma: if "honor" denoted a genuinely bad thing in the past (such as revenge killing, etc.), then why rebrand "honor" to mean something that is good? That'd be like taking "cruelty" and rebranding it to mean some good thing. Why on earth would you choose the word "cruelty" out of all the possible words to choose from? On the other hand, if "honor" did denote a genuinely good thing in the past, then why rebrand it to mean some other good thing?
My third reason—and I think this is the explanation for why attempts to rebrand honor are so common—is that people who don't really care for honor invoke term merely for rhetorical purposes. Would the Good Men Project have re-posted Druck's blog entry if it used any other word than "honor"? I don't think so. The word "honor" has become a sort of shibboleth that people utter to invoke a vague moral tone. It's like background music, which doesn't say anything so much as create a moral ambiance. If you want to seem caring and cooperative but also "tough" or "masculine," you toss in a meaningless use of the word "honor." It's manipulative and soft-minded, but it works I suppose…

This blog is meant to be a resource for bouncing ideas around and alerting honor researchers to new work on the topic. In that spirit, I just completed a working draft of this Freshman-level introduction to honor ethics, and I thought I'd share it here.
It's written somewhat in the style of Russ Shafer-Landau's Fundamentals of Ethics, which I use as a textbook. Like many contemporary introductory ethics texts, this piece focuses on ideas, principles, and intuitions and ignores scholarly figures and intellectual history.
Please note that it's an "opinionated" introduction, as it reflects the agonistic conception of honor I favor. It distinguishes between honor as a good and honor as a deontological moral theory. It connects the agonistic elements to honor's associations with integrity, anti-bullying, and forceful resistance.
I'd certainly welcome any suggestions for improvement. Also, please let me know if it is of any use to you in your courses.

On behalf of honorethics.org, I'm pleased to welcome Craig Bruce Smith as a contributor.
Dr. Smith is an instructor at Brandeis University and an adjunct professor at Emmanuel College. He recently earned his PhD in American history from Brandeis University. He specializes in early American history with a focus on honor, virtue, and ethics.
He is currently submitting his book manuscript, "Rightly to Be Great: Honor, Virtue, and Ethics among America's Founders," for publication. This project examines changes in honor and virtue from the coming of the American Revolution through the early republic. It traces the development of honor and virtue in the lives of people such as Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, and other individuals from the elite, middling and lower classes—featuring those who had previously been excluded, such as women and African Americans. This project illustrates that honor was regarded as an ethical ideal.
His next book project, "Redemption: The American Revolution, Ethics, and Abolitionism in Britain and the United States," examines British and American abolitionism as a matter of national honor. For the British, anti-slavery policy was a means to prove themselves the Americans' ethical betters on the world stage. In turn, this new British offensive made Americans react similarly by supporting abolitionism to maintain national honor and virtue.
Dr. Smith has also been published in the Massachusetts Historical Review, the Journal of Military History, the Digital Encyclopedia of George Washington, the Encyclopedia of War, and the Westchester Historian. In addition, he has presented talks on honor for a variety of institutions, including the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians, and Washington and Lee University.

The editors of Perspectives on Modern Honor (Lexington Books/Rowman & Littlefield, forthcoming 2015) invite abstracts on the topic of honor and liberalism. Invited contributors include:
Guidelines: Please send a 300-500 word abstract (appropriate to a chapter length of 7,500-9,000 words) to the editors by Feb 15, 2014.
Laurie Johnson (Political Science, Kansas State) at firstname.lastname@example.com
Dan Demetriou (Philosophy, Minnesota-Morris) at firstname.lastname@example.com
Replies will be given by March 1, 2014, and completed manuscripts will be due to the editors by April 15, 2015.
More about the project:
Honor is, for many, an outdated concept that clashes with modern, liberal, priorities. Honor is associated with medieval chivalry, the warlike virtues, and in our own times such reprehensible acts as terrorist attacks and honor killings. None of this is very attractive in a world in which women have made great gains towards full equality, where war can be total, and where terrorism beleaguers Western societies. Even early modern and Enlightenment thinkers often rejected honor (or re-defined it) as an irrational human motivation which leads nations and individuals to fight over religious and ethnic rivalry or trivial matters, such as insults. Thomas Hobbes, for instance, rejected aristocratic honor as a major cause of quarrel, and sought to control its power by placing it in the hands of an absolute sovereign. John Locke attempted to replace the quest for honor as a motivation with the pursuit of enlightened self-interest and commodious living.
And yet, there is a growing interest in reviving honor and making it "safe" for modern liberal society. This concern recognizes that members of liberal democratic societies are finding it increasingly difficult to find common ground, or to foster any agreement about expectations for private and public conduct. Honor is a concept that can be interpreted in a secular manner, which gives it an edge over purely religion-based attempts at creating a code of conduct in societies with great religious diversity and a separation of church and state.
A growing body of literature is addressing these benefits of honor, as well as the challenges to developing honor codes in liberal societies, but authors define honor in a variety of ways and take different approaches to how to operationalize honor in modern liberal societies. This groundbreaking volume will be the first to engage scholars representing various disciplines in a dialogue about what honor means and role it should play in liberal societies.
General areas of consideration for authors can include:
1. How should we define honor or categorize types of honor?
2. Are honor and liberalism in fact, or in principle, in tension, or are they mutually reinforcing?
3. Is military honor alive in modern liberal societies, and if so, does it pose a problem for them?
4. How should we react to non-Western honor motivations (i.e., Western vs. non-Western honor)?

Honorethics.org contributor Ajume Wingo had a great letter published in the Denver Post yesterday on Nelson Mandela. It discusses an important point almost totally ignored in the encomia we are hearing about the South African president: how unique and important it was that Mandela gave up power.
The true source of Mandela's greatness is how he gave up that power. It was his exit — dignified and orderly — more than anything else that sets him apart. His exit from office at the height of his power, popularity and health put him in the company of Cincinnatus of ancient Rome and George Washington — exemplars of the rule of law and the ideals of leadership in a republic.
I know Ajume has been thinking and writing on the theme of rulership and liberalism for some time. In the developed West, we have grown accustomed to our leaders stepping down when their tenure is up, but of course there is little reason to make the same assumption in many parts of the world. Figuring out how to persuade leaders to give up power—especially when the populace will let them get away with keeping it—would be huge accomplishment for the cause of liberalism and rule of law.
Could leaders be persuaded by money? Maybe. However, as Wingo's piece notes, African billionaire Mo Ibrahim has funded a foundation offering $5 million, and an annual stipend of $200,000, to African leaders who (among other things) "serve their constitutionally mandated term." The prize seems to be an insufficient incentive. Maybe the prize cannot compare to the richer spoils of electing oneself president for life. However, we do have some historical precedent on the matter. As Ajume notes, Washington and Cincinnatus also refused sorts of kingship.
Beyond their non-pecuniary motives, I cannot say much about Cincinnatus' or Mandela's motives. But in the case of Washington, some historians argue that concern for honor was key. Douglass Adair, Lorrraine Smith Pangle and Thomas Pangle, Joanne Freeman, and Gordon Wood all speak to the concern Washington had for his honor and reputation. Continue reading
