I prefer to say, _Honor is, onits objective side, other people's opinion of what we are worth; onits subjective side, it is the respect we pay to this opinion_. Fromthe latter point of view, to be _a man of honor_ is to exercise whatis often a very wholesome, but by no means a purely moral, influence. The feelings of honor and shame exist in every man who is not utterlydepraved, and honor is everywhere recognized as something particularlyvaluable. The reason of this is as follows. By and in him...self a mancan accomplish very little; he is like Robinson Crusoe on a desertisland. It is only in society that a man's powers can be called intofull activity. He very soon finds this out when his consciousnessbegins to develop, and there arises in him the desire to be lookedupon as a useful member of society, as one, that is, who is capableof playing his part as a man--_pro parte virili_--thereby acquiring aright to the benefits of social life.
