Why should we be tolerant? What does it mean to 'live and let live'? What
ought to be tolerated and what not? Catriona McKinnon presents a comprehensive,
yet accessible introduction to toleration in her new book. Divided into two
parts, the first clearly introduces and assesses the major theoretical accounts
of toleration, examining it in light of challenges from scepticism, value
pluralism and reasonableness. The second part applies the theories of toleration
to contemporary debates such as female circumcision, French Headscarves,
artistic freedom, pornography and censorship, and holocaust denial. Drawing on
the work of philosophers, such as Locke, Mill and Rawls, whose theories are
central to toleration, the book provides a solid theoretical base to those who
value toleration, whilst considering the challenges toleration faces in
practice. It is the ideal starting point for those coming to the topic for the
first time, as well as anyone interested in the challenges facing toleration
today.
