Two Approaches to Tolerance: Nicholas of Cusa and John Amos Comenius

Original language description

The article deals with the ideological sources of tolerance in the works by Nicholas of Cusa and John Amos Comenius. In his work, Nicholas of Cusa elaborated the idea that religious tolerance is based on a specific philosophical-theological concept of unity as the foundation for a peaceful coexistence of different religions and cultures. The prevailing concept in the work of John Amos Comenius is the synthesis of the Christian notion of Imago Dei with the idea of human equality and education, which leads to cultural tolerance as a precondition of peace and social stability. Legitimization of religious differences on the background of metaphysics (Nicholas of Cusa) and emphasis on dignity and natural human ability (John Amos Comenius) represent two humanistic visions leading to re-establishment of peace among different religions, cultures and traditions. The concept of tolerance at both thinkers is connected to the idea of unity, universality, peace, reconciliation, brotherhood and dignity of human life.
