Why should we be tolerant? What does it mean to "live and let
live"? What ought to be tolerated and what not?
"Toleration: A Critical Introduction" is a comprehensive and
accessible philosophical introduction to toleration. The first part
of the book clearly and coherently introduces and assesses the
major theoretical accounts of toleration, examining toleration in
light of challenges from skepticism, value pluralism and
reasonableness. Catriona McKinnon also draws from those
philosophers whose theories are central to toleration, from Locke
and Mill to Rawls.
In the second part of the book, McKinnon applies the theories of
toleration to urgent contemporary problems such as female
circumcision, the French headscarves affair, artistic freedom,
pornography and censorship, and holocaust denial.
"Toleration: A" "Critical Introduction "provides a solid
theoretical base to those who value toleration, whilst considering
the challenges tolerationfaces in practice. It provides an ideal
starting point for those coming to the topic for the first time,
and anyone interested in the challenges facing toleration today.
