Aristotle argues that everything we do in life aims toward a single end: happiness. His argument is the basis of our founding credo that all have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Is he right about this argument on happiness? Aristotle also argues that slavery is a real fact of life, AND that slavery is both natural and right. Do you agree? Is slavery both real and right? If slavery is right, then what pursuit of happiness does the slave have? If we all have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then how do we reconcile Aristotle’s belief that there’s nothing wrong with enslavement.
