Tolerance Among the Virtues

In our pluralistic society, some think tolerance results in moral compromises while others dismiss it as political correctness. In Tolerance Among the Virtues (Princeton University Press), John Bowlin *93 presents a nuanced argument about why tolerance is a virtue and distinguishes between right acts of tolerance and acts that become complicity or condescension. Bowlin offers insights into how to live amid beliefs we consider false, actions we think are unjust, and people who embody what we oppose.
