The paper develops Caspar Hirschi’s concept of honour as a basic category at the centre of the international competition among humanist scholars. My general question focuses on the way humanists reconciled this interest in individual communities with a concept like Europe as a geographical or symbolical unit, which was homogeneous and supranational in its very principle.
