In today's developed world, much of what people believe about
religious toleration has evolved from crucial innovations in
toleration theory developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. Thinkers from that period have been rightly celebrated
for creating influential, liberating concepts and ideas that have
enabled many of us to live in peace. However, their work was
certainly not perfect. In this enlightening volume, John Christian
Laursen and Maria Jose Villaverde have gathered contributors to
focus on the paradoxes, blindspots, unexpected flaws, or
ambiguities in early modern toleration theories and practices. Each
chapter explores the complexities, complications, and
inconsistencies that came up in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries as people grappled with the idea of toleration. In
understanding the weaknesses, contradictions, and ambivalences in
other theories, they hope to provoke thought about the defects in
ways of thinking about toleration in order to help in overcoming
similar problems in contemporary toleration theories.
