Offentliga samtal: Tolerans, till vilket pris?

Det finns studier som pekar ut Sverige som ett av världens mest toleranta länder och tolerans betraktas ofta som en nödvändig förutsättning för en fungerande demokrati. Men vad menas egentligen med to, professor i statsvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet. Tolerans är en nödvändig förutsättning för en fungerande demokrati. Trots detta missuppfattas toleransbegreppet ofta i både politiska och vetenskapliga diskussioner, både avsiktligt och oavsiktligt.

Om detta handlar Sten Widmans presentation. , professor i islamisk teologi och filosofi vid Uppsala universitet.
