Abstract
Description
Tolerance Between Vice and Virtue. The concept of tolerance seems to occupy a very important place in the Western culture, gaining the statute of a supreme unquestionable virtue. Yet, there are also voices that warn about its dangers. Starting from this premise, the present paper aims to analyse different approaches on tolerance and the difficulties they raise. For this purpose, the research investigates the main arguments in favour of tolerance which then serves as a background for a critical examination of the contemporary approaches. The intention is to determine whether the new lines of thought are doomed to failure just like the ones they have replaced.
