"Yes he can" No, he can't. Freethinkers of today have centuries of written history and debate to draw upon including much of Greek thought which was preserved. The Greeks had no such advantages. Just as modern ideas of automobile efficiency cannot be compared to Henry Ford's concepts. A person of today would be expected to know that (for example) lead pollution is bad. Henry Ford would not be expected to know that. A rational and literate person of today has centuries of moral thought by scores of brilliant philosophers and humanists to inform his opinions and his values. So it is unlikely that a freethinker of today would engage in slavery without knowing he was a bastard.
