Abstract

The author claims there are various types of tolerance. He defines tolerance as a dispositional feature of human beings vs other human beings. The basic formula of democratic tolerance runs as follows: mutual tolerance is better than both the risks of tyranny due to intolerance & the risks of a civil war. It disguises the latent aggressiveness underlying our democratic societies. Dangerous developments have been detected for the future of the European Union. It is faced with a choice: Is it going to develop according in the direction of national states or the Europeanization of national states? The first leads into an increasing intolerance. The solution lies in tolerance, which can be preserved by the Europeanization of democracy. Adapted from the source document.
