The problem of how we are to live together in morally and
culturally diverse democratic societies is central to modern life.
Over the last thirty years, an extensive philosophical literature
has developed around the idea of toleration as a way of engaging
with that problem. However, recent years have witnessed a growing
backlash against the idea of toleration, which is often considered
too 'thin', or too unambitious an aspiration for liberal democracy.
This timely collection of essays from an international field of
experts in the history and philosophy of toleration takes stock of
this debate and offers a distinctive reassessment of the place of
toleration in contemporary political life. Against the general
climate of scepticism, the message that emerges from these essays
is that toleration remains an extremely powerful idea, and one that
must remain central to the political enterprise of forging social
unity amid diversity in the twenty-first century. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of
Social and Political Philosophy.
