Opis

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.
