| Zusammenfassung: | This article offers an overview of how the concept of tolerance has evolved & developed in step with historical processes. It discusses why it is an issue of current concern in light of the debate on democracy & multiculturalism. The politics of tolerance offers an alternative to societies that are polarized, confrontational, & characterized by antagonisms that could degenerate into violence of any kind. If intolerance seems to impose itself as the power of coercion gains the upper hand, tolerance offers us a prospect wherein civilized reason predominates. Adapted from the source document. |
