This study, unique of its kind, asks how slavery was viewed by the leading spokesmen of Greece and Rome. There was no movement for abolition in these societies, or a vigorous debate, such as occurred in antebellum America, but this does not imply that slavery was accepted without question. This book draws on a wide range of sources, pagan, Jewish and Christian, over ten centuries, to challenge the common assumption of passive acquiescence in slavery, and the associated view that, Aristotle apart, there was no systematic thought on slavery. The work contains both a typology of attitudes to slavery ranging from critiques to justifications, and paired case studies of leading theorists of slavery, Aristotle and the Stoics, Philo and Paul, Ambrose and Augustine.
This book uses historical primary sources to attempt to explain how slavery was viewed in ancient Greece and Rome. This is no mean task, because the Greek and Roman public conversations generally steered clear of the subject. The result is a typology of classical attitudes towards slavery, ranging from critique to justification, and a careful look at the views of Aristotle, the Stoics, Philo Judaeus and Paul, and Ambrose and Augustine.
