Quotes by C.D.C. Reeve (?)

“Warriors with developed senses of honour and hair-trigger tempers sensitive to the slightest insult make dangerous enemies but they also make uncertain allies. Indeed, Aristotle claims that 鈥榦ur anger is more aroused against associates and friends we think have insulted us than against strangers鈥�. This is the dilemma at the heart of heroic values. It is, again, one reason that Homer invites the goddess to sing about anger, one reason that she sings a song in which that anger is first directed against friends and then against enemies.”
― C. D. C. Reeve

“Anger is intimately involved with both military prowess and loyalty: it provides the kind of psychic energy necessary to perform brutal acts, and so is bound up with success on the battlefield. But it also involves a socially constructed notion of worth, which is a focus for honour. When Plato argues in Republic Book IV that the characteristic emotion of an honour-lover is anger (thumos), he is recognising how central to the world of honour anger really is.”

“Honour, like insult, comes from others. It is their recognition of our worth. It is the intrusion of the social into the psychological, the public into the private. After all, others honour us for what they find of worth in us. 鈥楾o pursue [honour],鈥� wrote Baruch Spinoza in Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect (1677), 鈥榳e must direct our lives according to other men鈥檚 powers of understanding, fleeing what they commonly flee and seeking what they commonly seek.鈥� So what we come to think of as worthwhile in ourselves is bound to have as a large component what others think to be worthwhile in us.”
― C. D. C. Reeve
