Toleration has a rich tradition in Western political philosophy. It
is, after all, one of the defining topics of political
philosophy--historically pivotal in the development of modern
liberalism, prominent in the writings of such canonical figures as
John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and central to our understanding
of the idea of a society in which individuals have the right to
live their own lives by their own values, left alone by the state
so long as they respect the similar interests of others.
Toleration and Its Limits, the latest addition to the NOMOS
series, explores the philosophical nuances of the concept of
toleration and its scope in contemporary liberal democratic
societies. Editors Melissa S. Williams and Jeremy Waldron carefully
compiled essays that address the traditionas key historical
figures; its role in the development and evolution of Western
political theory; its relation to morality, liberalism, and
identity; and its limits and dangers.
