Philosophy, Religion, and the Question off Intolerance is a diverse
collection of essays united by a common starting point and theme --
the awareness that intolerance is a phenomenon encountered in
diverse places and circumstances and often handled with limited
success. The question of toleration, together with its cultural,
social, religious, and philosophical implications, are addressed by
leading authorities who offer insights from an interdisciplinary
perspective.
The book begins with essays by three distinguished scholars,
Robert Cummings Neville, J. B. Schneewind, and John McCumber. They
assess the origins of intolerance, the genesis of our concept of
toleration, and the outlook for the practice of tolerance in
contemporary society.
Beyond the opening essays, the collection is divided into three
sections. The first concentrates on the relationship of religious
faith and practice to toleration and inquires how religion might
either impede or promote toleration. The second section deals
primarily with questions regarding tolerance in the face of modern
political realities. The final section discusses ethics, namely the
philosophical analysis and definition of toleration as a
virtue.
