The aim of this book, first published in the 1980s, is to set out
the logic, implications and applications of toleration. It offers
an analysis of the philosophy of toleration, constructs a history
of toleration as a series of negations of specific intolerances,
details the place of "procedural scepticism" in the determination
of truth and falsity," and explores the relevance of tolerance to
justice and to equality in plural democratic states.
This new edition seeks to clarify key points. It reviews and
confirms toleration conceived as a negation of intolerances. It
reviews and confirms the coherence of embedding "procedural
scepticism" in "ideational tolerance." It returns to the discussion
of toleration as a value. King has elsewhere moved increasingly
towards the view that "tolerance" in a dramatically unequal world,
may be more apt than "liberty," and that "friendship" may rightly
trump over "power."
But the most important concern of this new edition is to affirm the
continuing importance of distinguishing between the logical
analysis of the construct and moral commitment to it. While there
is a morality plainly implicit in this work, its approach is
primarily analytical.
