Abstract
The first book-length joint treatment of honour and slavery, drawing on new approaches to the philosophy, psychology and sociology of honour
- Sets out a new approach to honour drawing on recent advances in philosophy, psychology and sociology
- Examines the intersection of slavery and honour in the ideological sphere
- Illustrates honour dynamics within the household between individuals of differing statuses
- Explores honour and recognition involving slaves in cults, the workplace, and other contexts beyond the household
For the last four decades, the trend in ancient Greek history has been to view the intersection of slavery and honour wholly in terms of dishonour, with slaves often seen as standing outside the dynamics of honour and recognition. Drawing on new approaches to the philosophy, psychology and sociology of honour, this volume showcases thirteen essays by established and upcoming scholars in which a more complex reality is illustrated. Whilst slavery and dishonour did often go together in the Greek world, slaves could be both the recipients and bestowers of honour across a range of contexts within and beyond the household.
