The third kind is intellectual tolerance, the acceptance of every idea as being equally valid, a refusal to point out error -- to distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong. For instance, some people believe the Holocaust never happened. Legal tolerance would insist on their legal right to state that view. Social tolerance prompts us to treat a person with justice and kindness because of their value as persons, regardless of their views. Intellectual tolerance would mean thinking that their ideas, like those of Hitler, are no worse than the ideas of Mother Teresa. We can and must refute a person's error while still showing respect for the person. |
