- Summary:
- 'Slavery in Early Modern Philosophy 1500-1765' contains thirty-four philosophical texts about slavery composed in Europe and America between 1500 and 1765. These readings demonstrate that debates about slavery deserve a central place in the history of philosophy, and are crucial for understanding early modern moral and political philosophy, as well as the development of the concept of race and the history of racism. Included here are many previously unpublished and newly translated texts that discuss various aspects of slavery and represent many different perspectives.
