Abstract<\/p>\n
The need for toleration is understood to derive from disagreements that arise from
\nreligious and cultural diversity. While a number of different justifications can be
\noffered for toleration, the value of freedom is one of the most significant. This chapter
\nfocuses on the specific conception of freedom as non-domination, rather than on other
\nconceptions such as non-interference or autonomy, and seeks to examine what light
\ncan be thrown by this conception on the way in which contemporary states should
\ndeal with issues arising from the fact of religious and cultural diversity. It considers
\nwhether there is a place for toleration in the strict sense of \u2018allowing something with
\nwhich one disagrees\u2019, which has been criticised as paradoxical, out-moded and
\ndominating. It argues that freedom as non-domination grounds a conception of secure
\ntoleration that avoids these criticisms, while requiring some elements that are
\nnormally associated with respect and recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
