Abstract

The difference of opinion between the European thinkers and the Christian clergy on slavery differed from their view of the issue of slavery as dictated by the teachings of Christianity. Although some intellectuals refused to admit that slavery was normal, they sought to justify it in some cases, The system of slavery and the process of obtaining slaves through the sale was practiced in many societies before the Atlantic trade, according to some spatial and temporal variables, the growing slavery in Africa during the fifteenth and sixteenth century AD, the result of the disintegration of the major African powers. This has led local African leaders to practice the slave trade as an important means of strengthening their governance and wealth, as the forces that determined the success of this Atlantic trade between Africa and Europe grew. Our topic is about the position of the Church and European intellectuals, including thinkers, philosophers and clerics, in their view of slavery and how to deal with African slaves, and knowing the different opinions about that and what are the most important data on which they based their dealings. Among the results, that we can present through the problem is that the different positions on the part of the Church or intellectuals and philosophers were included within a single project confirmed by the material interest that canceled everything related to the human conscience and the principle of freedoms advocated by intellectuals and philosophers in Europe.
