Tolerance as Suppressed Disapproval
Original language description
In this text, I am going to deal with the concept of tolerance. I ask the question: What do we do when we tolerate something? There is a simple answer: To tolerate something means not to disapprove of it. But this answer is wrong because it does not distinguish tolerance from approval and indifference. I will argue that tolerance is a second-order attitude. To tolerate something means to suppress one’s own disapproval of it. Tolerance is based on the ability of an individual to self-control, to endure and to forbear. My approach has a paradoxical consequence. Tolerance is traditionally understood as a typically liberal attitude or virtue. But when we properly understand the concept of tolerance, we will see that tolerance has a limited role to play in a liberal society. This paradoxical consequence can be resolved by distinguishing positive and negative liberalism. You can be a liberal person in virtue of your liberal views and/or in virtue of your tolerance.
