| Summary: | Toleration has become a much discussed and studied topic in recent years, revealing a new degree of ambivalence about its meaning and significance. This essay explores how toleration is being studied and suggests the difficulties and limitations involved in approaching this dynamic topic as a stable, consistent idea. It concludes by suggesting that there is no perfect or single ideal of toleration. Rather, toleration involves a variety of relationships across time and space in which different groups benefit (or do not) in different ways. The ambivalence reflects a developing awareness of this complicated character of toleration. |
