Abstract:
|
The aim of this paper is to offer an account of the relations between three moral values: justice, toleration, and peace. The argument it defends is that toleration is the value most consistent with and necessary to the pursuit of a lasting peace; and that peace is the pre-condition of justice. It therefore rejects the idea that justice supplies grounds for toleration, and also rejects the idea that justice is the basis of genuine peace. Even before the events of the past year, many had begun to question the significance of toleration, suggesting that, in the end, it was either derivative from or subordinate to other more important values. And these values, it has been argued, help us establish the limits of toleration. The argument of this paper, however, is that toleration is not a derivative value but, rather, one that is of central importance. It goes further, however, to suggest that taking toleration seriously has implications that are more radical than many of its defenders have hitherto recognized, for it may have a more significant bearing on our understanding of the nature of the polity than many acknowledge - or are prepared to accept. A part of the concern of this paper is to explain why toleration should be embraced nonetheless. |
