Toleration in conflict

Toleration in conflict: past and present

by Forst, Rainer

Type Book
Rate 0.0 /5

"The concept of toleration plays a central role in pluralistic societies. It designates a stance which permits conflicts over beliefs and practices to persist while at the same time defusing them, because it is based on reasons for coexistence in conflict - that is, in continuing dissension. A critical examination of the concept makes clear, however, that its content and evaluation are profoundly contested matters and thus that the concept itself stands in conflict."--Provided by publisher.
