Abordări filosofice ale fenomenului toleranței

Abstract

The density of interpersonal, intergroup and international relations, which in contemporary society are on the rise, contributes to increasing the probabilities of meeting various opinions, ideas, visions and opinions. These factors lead to the need to include, in the sphere of communication, some sustainable mechanisms of interaction without rejection, hostility, hatred and violence. In this context, tolerance may serve as one of these mechanisms. The complex nature of tolerance, as a socio-cultural phenomenon, is analyzed within a wide spectrum of sciences, such as the exact, natural and humanitarian ones. In the article "Philosophical approaches to the phenomenon of tolerance" we propose the analysis of the views of some philosophers, such as M.Montaigne, T.Hobbes, L.Feuerbach, S.Freud, E.Fromm, N.A.Berdiaev, M.Buber, J.Locke, I .Kant et al., regarding the phenomenon of tolerance. Analyzed through the prism of philosophical approaches, tolerance presents itself as an immanent and inherent quality of man, as a natural being that exists together with others, since birth (M.Montaigne, L.Feuerbach). For E.Fromm, tolerance is expressed through respect, care and responsibility towards the Others. N.A.Berdiaev and M.Buber believe that people/individuals create interpersonal relationships in institutionally determined groups, where social relationships are inherent in the relationship between "I" and "The Other", and tolerance is manifested through empathy and dialogue. J. Locke and I. Kant present tolerance as one of the highest ethical values of the individual by recognizing human rights and freedoms.
