Addresses the philosophy and politics of slavery during the French Enlightenment. This book scrutinizes Condorcet's "Reflections on Negro Slavery" and the works of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Diderot side by side with the "Code Noir", to uncover attempts to uphold the humanist project of the Enlightenment while simultaneously justifying slavery.
