This interdisciplinary collection of articles attempts to present a first major investigation of moral duplicity in its various facets, including literary sciences; classical, religious, and medieval studies; philisophy; epigraphy;history of law; patristics. For the purposes of this volume, the term 'double standards' has been defined as the conscious and intentional splitting of morality by the party involved. Generally, two modes of splitting morality can be observed (parts I and II in this volume) that have also been Subject to theoretical treatment (part III). Part I assembles cases in which there may (or may not) exist a discrepancy between how a certain rule is applied to one group as opposed to another, based on the conscious decision that one group deserves a different treatment from another group, even when both are in the same situation. Part II is dedicated to the discrepancy between the inner attitude or true standard followed and an outer performance or pretended guiding standard. This implies that people put on a mask in a kind of conscious (not pathological!) splitting of their personality. Finally, part III looks at texts that show that the awareness of moral duplicity is old, and soon became the object of more or less satirical or polemical criticism and reflection.
