| Summary |
This book explores a topic that historians of philosophy have so far neglected almost completely: debates about the morality of slavery in eighteenth-century North America and Europe. Author Julia Jorati pays particular attention to the role that race plays in these debates. Each of the five chapters covers intriguing and philosophically important texts about slavery and race from a specific geographic region: North America, Scotland, England, France, and lastly, the Netherlands and Germany. The book-and a companion volume also by Jorati on slavery and race in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-will serve as a resource for scholars, instructors, and students of philosophy and neighboring disciplines |
