Laurie Johnson Bagby examines the loss of the appreciation for honor in modern Western society through an examination of the political philosophy of English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes. She finds in Hobbes's thought a 'turning point for honor, ' in which honor is rejected as too dangerous, and fear and self-interest are put in its place as the chief means of peace and good order.
