Review:
"He [Appiah] sounds an urbane and civilised note when discussing what are often raucous and rancorous issues. But the civilised note is quietly compelling, and never more so than in this latest book." The Guardian "...it's good to be able to salute writing whose message is of hope, progress and moral courage...The Honor Code is not, strictly speaking, a history book, but rather a work of social and moral philosophy which draws on historical evidence...The message is that morality matters, and social action can change things for the better." Stephen Howe, The Independent Christmas Books 2010 "Among the books which have found a particular place in my mind, and heart, this year are several by dear colleagues at Princeton. These include The Honor Code...Appiah is a beautiful stylist, who ranges over an extraordinary array of topics in which the notion of "honour" may be relevant either to an individual or a society." Paul Muldoon, Books of the Year 2010, The Times Literary Supplement "This [The Honor Code] is in so many ways a brilliant book." --New Humanist

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this groundbreaking work, Kwame Anthony Appiah, hailed as "one of the most relevant philosophers today" (New York Times Book Review), changes the way we understand human behavior and the way social reform is brought about. In brilliantly arguing that new democratic movements over the last century have not been driven by legislation from above, Appiah explores the end of the duel in aristocratic England, the tumultuous struggles over footbinding in nineteenth-century China, the uprising of ordinary people against Atlantic slavery, and the horrors of "honor killing" in contemporary Pakistan. Intertwining philosophy and historical narrative, he has created "a fascinating study of moral evolution" (Philadelphia Inquirer) that demonstrates the critical role honor plays a in the struggle against man's inhumanity to man. "[Appiah's] work reveals the heart and sensitivity of a novelist. . . .Fascinating, erudite and beautifully written."The New York Times Book Review Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
