Tolerance is one of the important values of moral and political life, but the difficult question is whether tolerance has limits. If a belief is violence-provoking, discriminatory, or violates human dignity, should it still be sheltered under tolerance? This conversation with Arash Naraghi addresses this sensitive and fundamental issue.
The focus of the discussion is the distinction between tolerating disagreement and accepting beliefs that pave the way for exclusion, hatred, repression, or violence. From this perspective, tolerance is neither moral indifference nor the acceptance of every belief; rather, it requires assessing the relationship of beliefs with freedom, justice, human dignity, and the possibility of coexistence.
The importance of this topic is twofold in today's climate, where freedom of expression, hate speech, bigotry, political violence, and minority rights are intertwined. This video is suitable for those interested in moral philosophy, political philosophy, human rights, and discussions related to freedom and tolerance.
