Augustine thinks the master-slave relationship can serve as a political good insofar as it produces an opportunity for education to occur that may bind together a thoroughly "Christian polity." Augustine identifies natural slaves by an inherent disposition to sin and also their pagan, received, historical political categories.  Such a position enables the "aristocrats" of a society to define themselves as distinct from the slaves while at the same time viewing themselves from the perspective of the slave.  This creates a unique Christian aristocracy.  I hint at how this particular historical-philosophical study (of Augustine's thought on slavery) can help to overcome/defeat an Ultrachristian-Neopagan dialectic which I, by assumption of the thesis, believe guides the European history of values since Christ—an event which cannot be simply overcome in the way Nietzsche, Frederick II, or the Renaissance attempts it; must reconcile more.
