With the ownership name to titlepage, ink notes, and underlining, of Julius Moravcsik (one of the contributors). Else minor shelfwear. ; Xxii, 351pp. This volume addresses a wide variety of moral concerns regarding slavery as an institutionalized social practice. By considering the slave's critical appropriation of the natural rights doctrine, the ambiguous implications of various notions of consent and liberty are examined. The authors assume that, although slavery is undoubtedly an evil social practice, its moral assessment stands in need of a more nuanced treatment. They address the question of what is wrong with slavery by critically examining, and in some cases endorsing, certain principles derived from communitarianism, paternalism, utilitarianism, and jurisprudence. ; 351 pages; Signed by Contributor

Scholar's initial to inner cover (Jenifer Neils). ; Emphasizing the variety of systems of servitude, the author surveys the development of chattel slavery and then describes several cases in which entire communities were subjected. Next he considers the theories by which the Greeks justified the enslavement of particular peoples, and points out the absence of slavery in some Greek conceptions of utopia. He also discusses such topics as the condition of slaves in the various poleis, the role played by slaves in political life and in civic defense, the rarity of genuine slave revolts, and the means by which slaves and Helots sometimes reached accommodation with their masters. ; Classical World Series; 8.3 X 5.4 X 0.4 inches; 128 pages
