Description

This Routledge book examines how the figure of the slave has shaped Western political and legal philosophy, revealing its role in constructing ideas of freedom whilst supporting defences of colonialism and white supremacy. Through Giorgio Agamben's provocative lens, the slave emerges not as a symbol of oppression alone, but as an exemplar of potential future political existence. The work engages with foundational thinkers including Aristotle, Saint Paul and G W F Hegel, tracing how their ideas intersect with contemporary decolonial thought. Essential for scholars of political theory, legal philosophy and critical philosophy seeking to understand how foundational concepts in Western thought have been built upon and challenged by postcolonial perspectives.

Key Features

Explores Agamben's reinterpretation of the slave figure as a model for future political existence rather than purely historical oppression.

Engages with major Western philosophers including Aristotle, Saint Paul and Hegel to trace the slave's role in constructing freedom.

Addresses how the slave figure has supported philosophical defences of colonialism and white supremacy in Western legal thought.

Incorporates decolonial perspectives to challenge and rethink foundational concepts in political and legal philosophy.

Published by Routledge, offering rigorous academic analysis for philosophy and law scholars.
