Abstract

Durante la Edad Media y, más aún, la Edad Moderna, se justificó la esclavitud apelando a la autoridad de Aristóteles. Posiblemente la esclavitud propiamente tal, que considera al esclavo como mera mercancía, sea un invento griego. Lo sea o no, Aristóteles vendría a tratar de justificar su existencia. A partir de él, sus argumentos se utilizaron por filósofos y teólogos de todas las tendencias. Se pretende demostrar aquí que, por encima de estos argumentos tradicionales, los típicos conceptos griegos y aristotélicos de polis y democracia resultarían irrealizables sin el de la esclavitud.Palabras llave: Aristóteles; esclavitud; polis.During the Middle Ages, and even more in Modern Age, slavery was justified appealing to the authority of Aristotle. Slavery as such, in which slaves are considered mere merchandise, is possibly a Greek invention. Be it or not, Aristotle would justify its existence. Beginning with him, his arguments were used by philosophers and theologians of all tendencies. This article wants to demonstrate that, upon all these traditional arguments, those typical Greek and Aristotelian concepts such as polis and democracy, would be unworkable without that of slavery.Palabras llave: Aristotle; slavery; polis.
