For example, though Plato opposed the enslavement of Greeks, he – like every other ancient Greek – condoned the enslavement of “barbarians” (non-Greeks). Today, by contrast, even an emphatically non-philosophical person – say, Plato’s “media escort” – could easily explain why slavery is wrong: “A person is a person.
比如，尽管柏拉图反对奴化希腊人，但他——和所有古希腊人一样——宽恕奴化“野蛮人”（非希腊人）。相反，如今即使是最不“哲学家”的人——比如柏拉图的“媒体护卫”（media escort）——也能够轻松地解释为何奴隶制是错误的：“人就是人。每个人的生命与任何其他人一样重要。”
