Tolerance - desired by many and often demanded: By UNESCO, by the
Pope, by Angela Merkel and Barack Obama. But what exactly does it
mean to be tolerant? Does tolerance imply rejection? Or is
tolerance merely the opposite of dogmatism? And how does a tolerant
attitude differ from an indifferent one? Dominik Balg, starting
from a well-founded explication of the concept of tolerance,
subjects a tolerant attitude as an intellectual attitude toward
conflicting opinions to a detailed critique and discusses the
plausibility of general tolerance claims in specific domains such
as politics, religion, or ethics. He considers possible
alternatives to a tolerant attitude and presents with intellectual
open-mindedness and humility two substantial attitudes that can be
clearly distinguished from a tolerant attitude and - in contrast to
tolerance - can also be easily demanded on a general level. - With
a foreword by Thomas Grundmann. This book is a translation of the
original German 1st edition Leben und leben lassen by Dominik Balg,
published by J.B. Metzler, an imprint of Springer-Verlag GmbH
Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done
with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by
the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done
primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read
stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer
Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for
the production of books and on the related technologies to support
the authors.
