TOLERANCE AND ITS LIMITS: IN SEARCH OF A CONCEPT
Although tolerance has been considered a fundamental principle of modern democracy by several authors, few have dedicated themselves to studying the relationship between the moral content and the political form of this principle. An exception to this can be found in John Rawls’s Political Liberalism. However, his research does not provide an expressly adequate solution to the problem of the so-called intolerance paradox. This research intends to analyze this paradox to demonstrate that, more than a moral value for individual action, tolerance is a political mechanism for accommodating different life projects in a pluralistic society whose correct understanding requires taking into account the model of democracy with which that society operates. The main objective of the project is to study, from a transdisciplinary perspective, the theory of tolerance to explain the legal functioning of democratic societies. It is intended that the residency will allow for greater exchange with researchers from other areas and the opportunity to formulate a concept of tolerance that can be used in various fields of knowledge.
