MANLY HONOR: Part 2
The Decline of Traditional Honor
in the West, Ancient Greece to the Romantic Period
|
 By Brother Brett McKay
Lodge Veritas #556, Norman Oklahoma
Welcome back to our series on manly honor. Last month I explained the classic definition of honor: having a reputation worthy of respect and admiration in a group of equal peers. This reputation consists of both horizontal honor (your acceptance as a full member of the group), and vertical honor (the praise you receive from excelling more than other members within the group). This type of traditional, manly honor is a very public and external thing. It requires a man to belong to an honor group and suffer social consequences for not living up to the group's code. When primitive tribesmen, knights, and the Founding Fathers spoke of honor, this is the type of honor they meant.
Over the centuries, for a variety of reasons we'll explore today and next time, this traditional conception of external honor evolved into our modern idea of private, inner honor - a type of honor often used synonymously with "character" and "integrity." Today, a man's honor isn't determined by a group of his peers, rather, it's a very personal thing judged only by himself. Nineteenth century German statesman Otto von Bismarck captured this idea of private honor perfectly when he said in a speech:
"Gentlemen; my honor lies in no-one's hand but my own, and it is not something that others can lavish on me; my own honor, which I carry in my heart, suffices me entirely, and no one is judge of it and able to decide whether I have it. My honor before God and men is my property, I give myself as much I believe that I have deserved, and I renounce any extra."
