This presentation will offer an overview of the figurative and literal as well as the political and penal senses of the term “slavery” in Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, which are only tangentially related to real world Atlantic slavery. The second part of the presentation will discuss how these senses relate to real world slavery, and its attendant phenomena of resistance and marronage.
