Saving Honor: A Thomistic Ethics of Honor	2022		.txt	text/plain	325	5	4	The central claim advanced over five chapters is that a Thomistic understanding of honor, excellence, and justice supports an ethics of honor in which true honor given in accord with a true objective standard is ordered to personal and communal flourishing, sustains just social order, and is due in various degrees to all people. A true objective standard of excellence is distinguished from false standards both by a consideration of Thomas's metaphysics of goodness, which provides principles to adjudicate the excellence of creatures and their actions as participating in divine goodness both as good in themselves and as possessing the dignity of moving others to goodness, and by a consideration of Thomas's doctrine of love, which show that true honorable goodness is ordered to friendship as enabling the conjunction of cooperation by which friends are united and give joy to each other.	cache/6d56zw16203.txt	txt/6d56zw16203.txt
