Answer:

Why shouldn't we judge historical figures by the standards of our time?

Many of the vices we might rightfully judge a historical society or individual for are largely universal across culture and society.

We should judge them accordingly and learn from their mistakes, but we should also judge them by the degree to which that person or culture rejected those common vices and built something better. This is something quite rare and it’s far more useful as a learning tool for us to focus on this.

For example, the Greeks and Romans practiced slaveryBut so did every other ancient society. What is unique and admirable about the Greeks and Romans is the degree to which they did respect indvidual rights, seriously questioned slavery as an institution, and developed a secular, pro reason culture
