Mohammad Amir Ghoddousi's Lecture: 'On the Concept of the Right to Be Wrong'

Toleration can be justified in various ways. That is, one can provide reasons for the necessity and obligatoriness of toleration through different paths.

In the session "On the Concept of the Right to Be Wrong," Ghoddousi states that violating neutrality, as well as intolerance, is contrary to the interests of the political system and its supporting citizens. He also considers intolerance to be a cause for the spread of hypocrisy and dissimulation in society.

In addition to these, in Ghoddousi's view, intolerance is a morally incorrect behavior and a neglect of the requirements of the principle of justice in social ethics. Furthermore, from an epistemological perspective, intolerance belongs to the era of naive realism and is a product of the period of neglect regarding the extensive fallibility of the human cognitive apparatus.

In this meeting, held under the title of a symposium on the right to be wrong at the House of Thinkers, Ghoddousi first briefly outlines toleration and the justificatory reasons in its favor in 30 minutes, and then answers questions from the attendees.
