Document Summary
Outline of the course: aristotle"s concept of the natural slave to canadian laws. Used to understand where the people in the 1400s are coming from when discussing this philosophical architecture. The concept of the natural slave is related to the founding cases of our laws. What led to the establishment of the central parameters of canadian law. What do the understandings made in the 1800"s mean for contemporary politics in. Central piece of legislation in canada: the indian act (1876) We will anchor these justifications into their historical contexts. The philosophical structure of our laws (in north america) is deeply anchored in a philosophy that was developed in the middle ages. Goal is to convince us that there is a line to be drawn from all of this history to canadian policy today. Distinction between natural and positive law: natural law: natural laws are anchored in human nature/ part of the universe, a source of law that is above people.
