This chapter presents a philosophical overview of Tolerance, and gives a strong theoretical basis from which to understand the concept, and frame teaching and learning activities. It charts conceptual understandings of tolerance from medieval times, when it was conceived as the patient endurance of evil in pursuit of a greater good and stressed freedom of faith, to more modern understandings associated with the defence of pluralism and the rights of the individual conscience.

It charts conceptual understandings of tolerance from medieval times, when it was conceived as the patient endurance of evil in pursuit of a greater good and stressed freedom of faith, to more modern understandings associated with the defence of pluralism and the rights of the individual conscience.File in questo prodotto:
