Millions of Africans were enslaved and transported to the Americas in the eighteenth century. Europeans-many of whom viewed themselves as enlightened-endorsed, funded, legislated, and executed the slave trade. This atrocity had a profound impact on philosophy, but historians of the discipline have so far neglected to address the topics of slavery and race. Many authors-including enslaved and formerly enslaved Black authors-used philosophical ideas to advocate for abolition, analyze racist attitudes, and critique racial bias. Other authors attempted to justify the transatlantic slave trade by advancing philosophical defenses of racial chattel slavery.
