Description
Summary:The text makes a survey of the origin and evolution of the concept of tolerance. It also makes a critical reading of its use along time. Form the religious use of the notion, to the classical literature on the subject, to the contemporary liberal thought, the article studies the different meanings of tolerance, showing continuities and changes. It then proposes an alternative concept that eludes its negative connotations and is compatible with democratic culture, and it ends with a reflection about the Colombian context.
