Intolerance of ideas different from one's own appears to be a prevalent mindset among humans, and it has become increasingly prominent in recent years. In this comprehensive volume, political theorists and philosophers delve into the historical roots of modern intolerance and engage in a lively debate about its contemporary manifestations. The book explores a wide range of forms of intolerance, including religious intolerance during the Reformation, the suppression of religious symbols, homophobia, and attempts to ban it. It also examines populism on the right and "cancel culture" on the left, analyzing their consequences, causes, and implications.
The chapters in this book offer valuable insights into the mechanisms by which democracies can safeguard themselves against intolerance. They suggest popular and judicial measures that can be taken to combat this phenomenon. At the same time, they also explore the philosophical foundations of intolerance, examining epistemological and metaphysical doctrines such as self-evident truth, divine revelation, inner illumination, naïve realism, and the moral relativism attributed to analytic philosophy and postmodernism.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Critical Review, a renowned academic journal. This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and policymakers interested in understanding the dynamics of intolerance and developing effective strategies to counter it.
