Honor calls a person to defend their teammates, support their family and have self-respect.

To heed the call of honor say those who listen leads us towards a good life.

Yet, honor does not bear the marks of modern liberal morality. Honour does not focus

on the universal, but the particular. Nor does it claim impartiality. Rather, honour is deeply

personal and emotional. For some, the call of honour is like that of sirens of Greek mythology,

causing the illusion of what is good. In reality, pursuing

that good causes us to crash on the rocks of family feuds, cycles of violence and the subjection

of women. But is this really the full story? Must a culture of honor result in revenge and injustice?

And is modern liberal morality fit to play the role many thinkers wish it to. In this interview, we'll be

speaking to Tamla Summers, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Houston, and host of

the Very Bad Wizards podcast. Tamla is the author of several books, including Relative Justice,

a Very Bad Wizard, Morality Behind the Curtain, and the focus for our interview, why honour matters. It is time, according to

Summers, for those who are sceptical or separated from the importance of honour to reassess their

relationship with it. To do so raises questions of criminal justice, morality, love, friendship and

personal integrity. In short, honour can be a great motivator

across almost all areas of human life, say Summers,

and it is time we give of the pan-sycast. Lacking all dignity, I'm Jack

Symes. I'm honoured to be joined once again by the man who is always finding admiral qualities in the

story of Edipus. It's Mr. Andrew Horton. Howdy. She loves wearing a bicycle helmet. It's Miss Rose

to Castellan. Hello. And last but not least, he's a good man, just a very bad wizard. It's

Associate Professor Tamla Summers. All right, well, just to get started, you have instigated a blood feud between our families

because I am no longer an associate professor.
