Jean Bodin (c. 1530 – 1596) was a French philosopher. He criticized slavery, believing it contradicted with the teachings of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and rejected Aristotle's claim that some people are naturally destined to be slaves. While defenders of slavery pointed to its existence in Ancient Rome, Bodin pointed out how the Roman slave system caused frequent revolts and relied on harsh repression. He nevertheless had some reactionary views and believed a return to feudal monarchism would end colonial slavery.[1]
