To the modern mind, the idea of honor is outdated, sexist, and barbaric. It evokes Hamilton and Burr and pistols at dawn, not visions of a well-organized society. But for philosopher Tamler Sommers, a sense of honor is essential to living moral lives. In Why Honor Matters, Sommers argues that our collective rejection of honor has come at great cost. Reliant only on Enlightenment liberalism, the United States has become the home of the cowardly, the shameless, the selfish, and the alienated. Properly channeled, honor encourages virtues like courage, integrity, and solidarity.

Professor Sommers did a marvelous job explaining "honor," which is a seemingly natural-occurring phenomenon among all cultures in the world. And somehow he's able to talk about difficult moral phenomena in both a dispassionate but incredibly interesting way.
This was a great read and the audio-version (which he read himself) is fantastic as well.
