Hi Doug A slave enjoys the right to life, the right to make one's living only on condition that he perform labor gratis for another. But wouldn't it reflect a slave morality to rebel against this condition on the basis of appeals to transcendent ideals like natural or God's justice. In robust health, one opposes the relation out of respect for one's own flourishing, happiness and well being, out of affirmation of one's own nobility; these are as Allen Wood argues non moral goods. Marx and Nietzsche indeed. Yours, Rakesh
