Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history, causes, and consequences of duelling, a practice that has persisted in various forms for centuries, particularly among the upper classes. Exploring its prevalence in ancient Greece and Rome and its later adoption by medieval knights, the author traces the evolution of duelling from a means of settling disputes to a violent and often fatal custom rooted in the defense of personal honor. The author questions the validity of honor as a justification for duelling, arguing that true honor lies in seeking justice through legal channels and in respecting the sanctity of human life. They highlight the devastating impact of duels on families and communities, as well as their failure to deter the very offenses they are intended to avenge. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex factors that have fueled duelling throughout history, shedding light on its enduring appeal and its profound consequences. It invites readers to reconsider the concept of honor and to embrace a more enlightened approach to conflict resolution that values human life and the rule of law.
