Humanism is a philosophical outlook that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, while slavery involves the ownership and exploitation of human beings. The coexistence of humanism and slavery was possible due to the complex and often contradictory nature of historical societies, where beliefs and practices could be shaped by a variety of influences, including economic, social, and cultural factors. Additionally, individuals and institutions may have held conflicting beliefs or engaged in hypocrisy to justify or perpetuate the institution of slavery.
