The Last Duel

Forget the feminist marketing in the trailer - the story itself is very patriarchal and focused on honor.

Strength and Honor

The Art of Manliness discusses the Tactical Virtues from The Way of Men in the context of a bigger discussion about honor.

Reasons Why I'll Watch This Movie

I'm in agreement with Rod Dreher and one of the comments about the meaning of the movie: On Not Getting American Sniper by Rod Dreher

Elsewhere some have claimed that being a sniper is a dishonorable or cowardly way to fight, not worthy of a "true warrior." Are they confusing life-or-death combat with the sort of status-jockeying or conflict-resolution fighting among boys and young men (and maybe even older men) that is not meant to end in death?

Art of Manliness on Honor

I had not been keeping up with the series - Manly Honor VI: The Decline of Traditional Honor in the West in the 20th Century (via Tea at Trianon, which also links to this 2007 interview with Dr. Anthony Esolen).

2.3 Plato's Revenge: Small as Bio-regional, Communitarian and Jeffersonian

With the recent publication of Plato's Revenge. Politics in the Age of Ecology (2011), Ophuls completed a trilogy on the politics of scarcity. In 1977 he had achieved a certain notoriety among environmentalists by questioning whether ecological integrity could ever be compatible with modern liberal democracy. He pointed out that the entire set of ideas, institutions and practices predicated on abundance would inevitably be replaced by new social and political forms based on scarcity.

In 1997 he extended the critique of modern liberalism, arguing that the paradigm of mass politics inherited from Hobbes and Locke, even without ecological crisis, was bound for self-destruction because it abandons the premise that a successful polity must be rooted in an unspoken but pervasive framework of virtue, itself reproduced in the context of a binding we-identity and community (or what Tönnies [1887]called 'gemeinschaft'). In Plato's Revenge, Ophuls completes the argument by sketching a possible replacement – a new communitarian philosophy and political framework rooted in the ideas of Jefferson and Rousseau, but grounded in evolutionary psychology, anthropology and Jungian psychology.

Jack Donovan reads War

and extrapolates a definition of honor from Junger's potrayal of American soldiers in Afghanistan:

At the same time though, Junger reverently describes the soldiers he knows as being “honorable.” It is difficult to tell exactly what he meant, but in light of his other comments and my own thinking and reading about honor, I’ll take a stab at it.

Junger explains in the quote above that the combat itself is not about honor. And we don’t offer the soldiers who risk their lives the sort of public esteem or glory that they might have received at another time in history. We don’t spend much time “singing their songs,” because Westerners have officially nurtured a civilized horror of war. The most basic form of honor, reflexive honor, is definitely evident in Junger’s stories from the Korengal -- especially when members of the group are killed in action and the group retaliates. Bravery and strength are evident in all of the men, and it seems to me that the sort of honor which best matches their deeds is public honor, but in the most insular sense. The outside world doesn’t understand the soldiers, outsiders can't know what they've been through, but they understand each other. Their honor is public within the context of their small honor group -- the tribe. They don’t want to be shamed by the group and fear failing their brothers-at-arms. Their honor is a reputation for courage, strength and masculine virtue as it is defined culturally by the other men who they respect and depend on at these rugged outposts in the graveyard of empires.
