- Title
PLURALISM, SECULARISM, AND TOLERANCE.
- Authors
Clark, Kelly James; Corcoran, Kevin
- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of tolerance and intolerance from the vantage of religious pluralists and secularists. It highlights the analysis of tolerance from the notion of human nature and human satisfaction as understood by secularists and offers the limitation on the exercise tolerance which may not anymore be permissible when it harms others. The article argues that tolerance is indeed a virtue which requires honest, moral and religious conviction and is emanated from the metaphysical understanding of oneself. Moreover, it notes that tolerance has a limit whereby furtherance of it may inflict harm to other's beliefs and conviction.
