Product Description
Book Description
A remarkable collection of original writings that bring together some of today's most esteemed thinkers, philosophers, theologians, scholars, and social activists to ponder the origins of tolerance and to contribute to the critical debate on the state of social justice in the US and around the world.
From the Publisher
From New York City (post September 11) to Northern Ireland and the Middle East, a stellar group of authors bring a world view to the way tolerance is or is not practiced in business, in our religions, in our cultures, and in our political and economic systems. These rich and varied essays include original works from such notable contributors as Muhammad Ali, Nobel Prize Winner Wole Soyinka, writer and journalist Ian Buruma, Egypt’s Minister of Religious Affairs Mahmoud Zakzouk, and Brandeis University professor Jeffrey Abramson. Beyond promoting a renewed commitment to tolerance, the authors tackle head-on the thought-provoking notion that promoting tolerance also means defining where tolerance stops. What conditions constitute a truly open society? What are the limits to tolerance now?
