Locke on Slavery
natural liberty
Liberty to follow one's own will in all things where the law has not prescribed otherwise, and not to be subject to the constant, uncertain, unknown, or arbitrary will of anyone else
essentially, to be under no other restraint than the law of nature
Locke, who was interested in property generally, not personally, flatly excludes slaves from any notion of property unlike Aristotle who argues slaves are not only property, but among the most important property
If we mix what is by nature our property (body and capacity) with what is naturally common (resources), this mixture yields a result that is exclusively ours
makes the distinction between slavery and drudgery. presumably, this is a similar distinction between slavery and indentured servitude, an odd distinction.
