Abstract

With reference to gender preference, racial and social profiling, immigration policies, and the adjudication of borderland cultures and hybrid identities, this collection offers an in-depth examination of Enlightenment society and its parallels in the contemporary world."--Pub. desc. Featuring an internationally renowned group of contributors, this volume looks at the concept of tolerance at the point where the individual, or group, converges or clashes with the state. Though it appears to provide grist for the mill of Enlightenment critics such as Adorno, Horkheimer, Foucault, and MacIntyre by confronting specific cases in which individual freedoms are forced to acquiesce to state control and authority in the guise of tolerance, the essays also offer a cautionary tale of critical restraint in the post-9/11 world. By reflecting on similar discrepancies in the interplay of discourses of tolerance and intolerance that inform our own lives, we recognize attempts to craft and apply theories and practices of toleration. "The idea of tolerance is one of the most enduring legacies of the Enlightenment. However, there is a surprising lack of scholarly works that attempt to analyse the influence of tolerance on the individual during this period. This collection assesses, for the first time, the positive and negative impact of discourses and theories of tolerance upon the lives of individuals in eighteenth-century Europe.

Abstract

De Belgische filosoof Guido Vanheeswijck bespreekt in dit boek de historisch-filosofische oorsprong van een actief pluralistische houding. In zijn boek nuanceert hij de gangbare opvatting die de oorsprong van de moderne westerse tijd in de 17e eeuw dateert. Hij noemt deze de tweede renaissance, de rationele en wetenschappelijk moderne. Zij is de basis voor het passieve pluralisme. In navolging van Burckhardt, Kundera en Toulmin situeert hij een eeuw daarvoor een eerste, literaire en humanistische renaissance. Het is de tijd waarin de Lof der Zotheid van Erasmus en Utopia van Thomas More ontstonden. Deze humanisten leerden elkaar in Antwerpen, door toedoen van Pieter Gillis, kennen. Onder deze filosofen werd een open discussie over geloofszaken gepropageerd. Door het bloedvergieten tijdens de godsdienstoorlogen ontstond er echter een passieve tolerantie waarbij de 'laatste vragen' geleidelijk uit het publieke discours verdwenen. In een democratie behoort er echter ook dialoog te zijn over fundamentele waarden en overtuigingen. Hiervoor kan inspiratie geput worden uit de eerste renaissance van humanisten als Erasmus en More.
