slave can apprehend reason but the animal cannot; the use of
them is much the same.'
Aristotle is chiefly dwelling on the resemblance between the
slave and the animal : but in noting the difference, he has not duly
subordinated it to the general tone of the passage. Hence an

the freemen and 106s 81 to the slaves : ' the one (the freemen) may
have the bodies only of freemen, i. e. the souls of slaves, the others
(the slaves) may have the souls of freemen.'
