Description:

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.
