What drives societies to undergo moral revolutions, whereby previously entrenched practices are suddenly rejected as immoral? Does the notion of honor merely prop up morally objectionable practices - or does it also play a key role in dismantling them? Why did practices such as foot binding and duelling come to be rapidly rejected, after being embraced for centuries? And what lessons can we learn about how best to combat contemporary practices of honor killings?
Philosophical Conversations - Sarah-Jane Leslie, Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, conducts interviews with some of the world's leading philosophers through her association with the Marc Sanders Foundation. In this interview Professor Leslie meets with Kwame Anthony Appiah, Professor of Philosophy at New York University to discuss the role of honor in moral progress.
