Toleration on Trial offers the only multidisciplinary study
available on the issue of toleration, bringing together political
psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, Islamic scholars, and
political theorists to examine the most pressing debates in the
field. The volume addresses the toleration question from a number
of angles: toleration and its application to gay rights; Islam and
toleration; institutional, ideological, and psychological
preconditions for its practice; and philosophical and conceptual
arguments for the principle of toleration. The common thread
running throughout the volume is the core question: Is toleration
primarily a product of institutional arrangements, or is it an
attitude of individuals? To answer this adequately, the authors
believe that a contemporary analysis of the possibility,
significance and requirements of toleration must be fully cognizant
of the democratic, or more accurately_politically
mobilized_background in which toleration becomes a difficult issue.
Conflicts between deeply divided groups within nations and between
groups across political boundaries pose the issue of threat and
risk to a practice or way of life that many peoples find difficult
to accept. Can the idea and practice of toleration manage these in
politically and ethically defensible ways? These essays address
various aspects of the aim to establish or strengthen toleration
among politically mobilized groups, in a context of contemporary
democratic challenges.
