Slavery in Early Modern Philosophy 1765-1800 is a resource for scholars seeking a deeper understanding of philosophical debates surrounding slavery in late-eighteenth century Europe and America. It comprises selected readings that demonstrate that the debate about slavery in the late eighteenth century was transnational and philosophically sophisticated. This anthology contains arguments for and against the moral permissibility of transatlantic slavery based on moral frameworks like utilitarianism, natural law theory, social contract theory, and Biblical ethics, in addition to arguments about other related philosophical issues. This volume will appear alongside a companion volume, Slavery and Race in Early Modern Philosophy 1500-1765.
