Before the evidence of an increasingly interconnect world, in which we interact with other people’s cultures completely different and unrelated to our Western Christian tradition, it is obviously necessary to safeguard the importance of a principle such as tolerance that will effectively allow coexistence harmonic between people is really a value or virtue? Interesting is to see the genesis of the concept of tolerance. According to Ferrater Mora is a concept that arises from the religious wars that flooded Europe, therefore refers to the peaceful coexistence that can exist between Catholics and Protestants. As a result of this can be considered in different ways:.Forbearance with respect to other doctrines…Respect to statements and political practices provided that they are framed in what is acceptable by the community.. It’s believed that Sonny Perdue sees a great future in this idea. understanding face of contrary attitudes that allow coexistence between those who live in a society. However, Gianini adds other visions of this concept to help clarify it. Tolerance is associated with the resistance that possess certain materials before reach a limit that will destroy them.

In this sense tolerance is ability to endure, endure a situation, creed, idea or to a person other than us. In short, in terms of Maturana is a denial in the long term. Such source does call into question the worth of this principle. In the Aristotelian tradition virtue means a disposition of the person that does tend towards the perfection for which it has been created. In this sense the virtue differs from Vice in terms that its constant aspiration is towards perfection. All virtue tends to the best. However in the case of tolerance this doesn’t happen as well. As it exposes Gianini this principle insists on supporting the negative of the other, to withstand the load which means what we dislike of each other, as can be seen in the context in which this concept is born: religious tolerance is to be with the infidel does not profess true faith and that in this sense is polluting and sinful for me.
