In this engaging and comprehensive introduction to the topic of
toleration, Andrew Jason Cohen seeks to answer fundamental
questions, such as: What is toleration? What should be tolerated?
Why is toleration important? Beginning with some key insights into
what we mean by toleration, Cohen goes on to investigate what
should be tolerated and why. We should not be free to do
everythingNmurder, rape, and theft, for clear examples, should not
be tolerated. But should we be free to take drugs, hire a
prostitute, or kill ourselves? Should our governments outlaw such
activities or tolerate them? Should they tolerate outsourcing of
jobs or importing of goods or put embargos on other countries?
Cohen examines these difficult questions, among others, and argues
that we should look to principles of toleration to guide our
answers. These principles tell us when limiting freedom is
acceptableNthat is, they indicate the proper limits of toleration.
Cohen deftly explains the main principles on offer and indicates
why one of these stands out from the rest. This wide-ranging new
book on an important topic will be essential reading for students
taking courses in philosophy, political science and religious
studies.
