Toleration plays a key role in liberal thought. This book explores
our current understanding of toleration in liberal theory and
practice. Toleration has traditionally been characterized as the
willingness to put up with others or their actions or practices
despite the fact that one considers them as objectionable.
Toleration has thus been regarded as one of the core aspects of
liberalism: as an indispensable democratic virtue and as a
constitutive part of liberal political practice. In modern liberal
societies, where deep disagreements about social values and ways of
life are widespread, toleration still seems to be of crucial
importance. However, contemporary debates on toleration cover an
immense variety of theoretical and political issues ranging from
controversies over its exact understanding and conceptual scope as
well as its practical boundaries, e.g., regarding freedom of
expression or the legitimate role of religious symbols in
educational institutions. The contributions to this volume take up
a number of carefully selected key questions and problems emerging
from these ongoing theoretical and political controversies in order
to explore and shed new light on pivotal conflicts and tensions
that pervade different conceptions of toleration. The chapters in
this book were originally published in the Critical Review of
International Social and Political Philosophy.
