Abstract
Greek and Christian ideas of human nature have posed problems. Feminists point out that women are seen as creatures of emotion or symbols of temptations of the flesh because of these historical perceptions. Other critics point out that people in power often claim that their natural superiority justifies domination over others, a pattern reflected in Plato's story of the charioteer. Aristotle considered women intellectually and ethically inferior to men and defended slavery.
