Abstract:Al-Farabi justifies slavery by naturalizing the social conflict that supports it, and does so in part through a theory of natural slavery. Some people are slaves by nature, and are comparable to animals that have been brought under the yoke of civilization. By contrast, the Ikhwan al-Safa's fable, in which the animals take the humans to court, provides a more thorough treatment of slavery. This includes an imaginative engagement with the perspective of the enslaved. The Ikhwan al-Safa's fable of talking animals is thus more true, hence more philosophical, than al-Farabi's philosophical treatises with regard to the question of slavery.

对奴隶制哲学的文学抵抗:法拉比和伊赫万·萨法

摘要:法拉比通过将支持奴隶制的社会冲突自然化来为奴隶制辩护,部分原因是通过自然奴隶制的理论。有些人天生就是奴隶,堪比被文明奴役的动物。相比之下,Ikhwan al-Safa 的寓言中动物将人类告上法庭,对奴隶制提供了更彻底的处理。这包括对被奴役者视角的富有想象力的参与。因此,与法拉比关于奴隶制问题的哲学论文相比,伊赫万·萨法 (Ikhwan al-Safa) 的会说话的动物寓言更真实,因此更具哲学意义。
