Document Summary
Honor, that is, the prejudice of each person and each condition, takes the place of the political virtue of which i have spoken and represents it everywhere. (p. 26) Honor makes all the parts of the body politic move; its very action binds them, and each person works for the common good, believing he works for his individual interests. (p. 27) Honor is driven by ambition: people strive to attain more honor. The world is the school of what is called honor, the universal master that should everywhere guide us. Here, one sees and always hears three things: that a certain nobility must be put in the virtues, a certain frankness in the mores, and a certain politeness in the manners. (p. 31) Honor is driven by ambition reasonable but as extraordinary. (p. 32) One judge"s men"s actions here not as good but as fine, not as just but as great, not as.
