An Enquiry into the Origin of Honour; and the Usefulness of Christianity in War, published in 1732 by Bernard Mandeville, is a philosophical treatise examining the concept of honour and its relationship with Christian ethics in the context of warfare. Through a dialogue between characters Horatio and Cleomenes, Mandeville explores the nature of honour, distinguishing it from virtue and discussing its implications for human behavior and societal order. The work critiques how honour has been shaped by historical and political contexts, particularly its manipulation by institutions like the Church.
