If there is any discussion of the morality of black slavery, the essay appeared to argue that the modern practice was an improvement on the ancient, and part of the case proving the superiority of modern Europe over classical Greece and Rome. Webster may speculatively grant Hume ‘the benefit of the doubt’ and place him alongside the pantheon of antislavery thinkers of the eighteenth century, but to do this one must ignore the overtly racist footnote in one essay and disregard the context of the arguments in another. <br /><br />That Hume’s racist remarks were widely used to support colonial slavery even during his lifetime casts doubt upon any abolitionist stance readers may choose to impart to him. Stewart may choose to call Hume’s rendering of slave labour as legitimate property a mistakedue to an assumption that Hume is making an attack on slavery in another work, but to find that later reading to be in fact a denial that such slavery even occurs in the modern world leaves such arguments without real merit. David Hume was not a proto Abolitionist but was,at best, a thinker whose ideas were similar to many of the day; slavery was an unfortunate institution, however its continuance was a necessary cog in the economic machine that enabled the advancement of modern Europe’s superior culture".Bjørn Arehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491085976273836365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960015633887891784.post-64399763312042848472015-04-16T10:30:09.804+02:002015-04-16T10:30:09.804+02:00Godt skrevet.
