Honour in Aristotle\u2019s ethics and politics<\/em><\/span>:\u00a0Kleanthis\u2019 project will explore the concept of honour in Aristotle\u2019s ethics and politics, where honour occupies a central place. On the individual level, honour provides the underlying cause for a range of human emotions and psychological conditions that regulate one\u2019s behaviour towards others, such as anger, shame, and hybris, hence it bears on the modern concepts of respect, esteem, and self-esteem. As an object of pursuit by the individual, honour is described as the greatest of the \u2018external goods\u2019 and can be pursued properly or improperly, hence it plays a crucial role in Aristotle\u2019s theory of virtue, justice, and happiness or human flourishing (eudaimonia<\/em>). <\/span><\/p>\n

On the social level, the love of honour (philotimia<\/em>), along with the love of wealth, are according to Aristotle the major causes of injustice, hence considerations of honour impact greatly not only on interpersonal relations but also on relations between social groups. Aristotle places tim\u0113<\/em> at the root of ideological conflict and civil strife (stasis<\/em>), and attributes the very rise of the two most common constitutions, democracy and oligarchy, to conflicting beliefs about the proper distribution of \u2018honour\u2019 and public \u2018honours\u2019. Kleanthis\u2019 study will analyse the complex workings of honour at both individual and social level, and trace the links between Aristotle\u2019s views on honour and traditional Greek thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Honour in fourth-century Athenian <\/em>Oikoi<\/span><\/span>: the misunderstanding of honour as a (prototypically Mediterranean) primitive tool for oppression and male chauvinism is especially rooted in preconceptions about honour in domestic contexts. Bianca's project aims at reassessing the functioning of\u00a0tim\u0113<\/i> in the domestic and interpersonal sphere in fourth-century Athens. She shall consider specific subgroups in fourth-century Athenian society, such as slaves, women, and children, who are normally seen as subordinate to men\u2019s authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

By doing so, the aim is to show how, on the interpersonal level, tim\u0113<\/i>\u00a0could ensure a degree of mutuality and reciprocal respect even within intrinsically asymmetrical relationships. Case studies that allow us to get closer to the perspective of slaves, women, and children, shall be privileged. Often, what they illuminate are the ways in which individuals belonging to these social categories were able to assert their value and their claims in all sorts of interpersonal contexts. Bianca\u2019s investigation shall highlight the links between honour, identities, statuses, and interpersonal relationships, showing that\u00a0tim\u0113<\/i>\u00a0dynamics tended to safeguard the smooth functioning of relationships within the\u00a0oikos<\/i>\u00a0too, ensuring to all its members the possibility of being treated with respect and of attaining honour.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
