Tolerance (from Latin tolerare - "bear", "suffer"), informed consent to the profession and the proclamation by the views of others with whom we disagree, and to choose the way of life regarded by them as competent, although he did not approve of. Tolerance means no use of force against others. The tolerance is historically variable. It occurs in two forms: 1) as so called. negative tolerance, Classical, determined by such thinkers as Voltaire and J. Locke, consists in recognizing, despite internal opposition, the other views, attitudes and actions are also eligible, but should not be as they are, because they express the traditional values : truth, goodness, beauty, etc., to be pursued. Negative Tolerance does not deny the existence of truth in the classical sense, recognizes that it is possible to find the appropriate views to be taken, and wrong, which should be rejected on a personal and social life. 2) as so called. positive tolerance, characteristic of the assumptions of mainstream modern philosophy - postmodernism. It is based on the release of all other attitudes, actions and views as equals. This follows from the belief that there is no objective truth or other value, you can use to assess any opinions, attitudes and actions. Tolerance is a positive finding that, "because there is no truth, I can not accept his views as binding."
