On toleration

Michael Walzer examines five "regimes of toleration"--Multinational empires to immigrant societies - and describes the strengths and weaknesses of each regime, as well as the varying forms of toleration and exclusion each fosters. Walzer shows how power, class, and gender interact with religion, race, and ethnicity in the different regimes and discusses how toleration works - and how it should work - in multicultural societies like the United States. Walzer offers an eloquent defense of toleration, group differences, and pluralism, moving quickly from theory to practical issues, concrete examples, and hard questions. His concluding argument is focused on the contemporary United States and represents an effort to join and advance the debates about "culture war," the "politics of difference," and the "disuniting of America." Although he takes a grim view of contemporary politics, he is optimistic about the possibility of coexistence: cultural pluralism and a common citizenship can go together, he suggests, in a strong and egalitarian democracy.

  • "Essay over de wijze waarop binnen vijf politieke systemen de tolerantie tussen verschillende bevolkingsgroepen bevorderd kan worden, gevolgd door een pleidooi voor een postmoderne aanpak en een meer activistische overheidspolitiek."

  • "Il massimo teorico della sinistra liberale negli Stati Uniti delinea, facendo riferimento a casi storici e a problemi pratici, i nuovi significati che la tolleranza va assumendo alle soglie del Duemila. Intrecciando l'analisi delle forme storiche finora succedutesi con quello delle varie modalità con cui gli uomini si sono aggregati politicamente, Walzer giunge fino ai giorni nostri e alle questioni nuove che oggi si pongono per la difesa della tolleranza. Nel far questo, fornisce anche una ricostruzione estremamente penetrante delle tensioni e dei motivi di intolleranza, spesso feroci fino alla strage e allo sterminio etnico e culturale, presenti nelle società contemporanee."
  • "La tolérance n'est pas seulement une notion de philosophie ; elle est aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, un principe de politique. Traiter de la tolérance, c'est analyser la coexistence pacifique de groupes humains relevant d'histoires, de cultures et d'identités différentes. De fait, on ne peut traiter de la tolérance comme trop souvent de nos jours on dispute de la philosophie politique. Les réalités sont à ce point complexes, les enjeux immédiats, les arguments gros de conséquences inéluctables que la philosophie, lorsqu'elle se mêle de la tolérance, doit s'appuyer sur l'information historique et faire preuve de compétence sociologique. -- Publisher description."
  • "La tolérance n'est pas seulement une notion de philosophie ; elle est aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, un principe politique. Traiter de la tolérance, c'est analyser la coexistence pacifique, précisément rendue possible par l'exercice de la tolérance, de groupes humains relevant d'histoires, de cultures et d'identités différentes."
