The Axiological Dimension of Tolerance :: Psychological Social Papers

The Axiological Dimension of Tolerance ABSTRACT: I contend that tolerance is not the expression of a simple attitude, but constitutes a moral value which penetrates all spheres of social life. My argument assumes that globalization is a fundamental tendency of the contemporary world and that the ideal of such a world cannot be enacted without tolerance. After identifying the constituent elements of this value and its conditions of functioning, we conclude that any reconstruction of human society from the globalization point of view presumes tolerance as a fundamental factor. Functional tolerance assumes that everyone enjoys similar education in the spirit of tolerance at any age and any level. The future of humanity depends upon such a solution in the face of current woes. Overthrown to most intimate structures, the contemporary society sets itself again on the principle of globality. An older global tendency is asking its right to existence. Indisputably, the ampleness and the gravity of the problems confronting the humankind need a global approach, in order to find the saving solution. But "globality" or "mondialization" does not mean a uniform and indistinct totality swarming with the slogan of economic efficiently, no matter how important would it be. A such point of view, if it exists in somebody's mind, is a monstrosity and it cannot be accepted as such. Justified by the condition of the humankind in this millenium end, globalization presumes the difference and coexistent individualities on the ground of common and unanimous accepted values and ideals. In turn, the difference entails the democracy as a constitutive part of a mondializing process. Of course, it is not about a globalization of the democracy, but a need of democracy, which asserts itself in different forms and situation on all the meridians of the earth. It is quite clear that the diversity and democracy are ones of that is named now postmodernism. To live in a world, which is evolving or should be in accordance with these principles is near impossible out of the tolerance. Among others, the tolerance becomes necessarily the guiding star of the individual and human community by their will and action to reach the noble ideals of Good, Prosperity and Peace. But what is tolerance? Keeping its means from the Latin, the notion of tolerance means to support, to allow, enduring. These meanings refer to behavior expressing the acceptance of the individual, community or situation embodied difference. It could be talking about an ontological sense of the tolerance appearing in the endless variety of the manifesting existence forms.

The Democracy New Developments - 1405 Words

2.3 Deliberative democracy: new developments As research done within the area of deliberative democracy, and deliberation in general, is still ongoing, this study relies on a newer approach to deliberative democracy mainly inspired by Dryzek (2010). According to Dryzek (2010), â€Å"a system can be said to possess deliberative capacity to the degree it has structures to accommodate deliberation that is authentic, inclusive and consequential†[emphasis in original] (Dryzek, 2010, p. 10). More specifically, this means: †¢ Authentic: Deliberation should encourage reflection upon preferences. The deliberation should furthermore be characterised by communication that everyone can accept. (Dryzek, 2000, p. 68) †¢ Inclusive: Everyone should be able to†¦show more content†¦(Fraser, 1990, p. 64) There are two main points to derive from Frasers (along with other feminist theorists) criticism. First, social and cultural differences within societies have an impact on the possibility to engage in deliberation in the public sphere. Second, these differences result in not only inequality but also marginalisation. It is indeed difficult, especially when investigating empirical evidence, to argue for a public sphere, which is cleansed from any form of power relations and marginalisation (REFERENCE) – a so-called ‘neutral ground’. However, I will argue that the requirement of inclusiveness becomes less important if the end-goal of the deliberative process is not consensus-making, but rather to obtain meta-consensus. 2.4 Meta-consensus as the outcome of a deliberative process Although the more specific conceptualisation of meta-consensus is to be found in the work of Niemeyer and Dryzek (2007), the idea behind it has been around for a long time. According to Niemeyer and Dryzek (2007), deliberation â€Å"requires that individuals transcend private concerns and that they engage with competing views, taking them into account as a part of their evaluations† (Niemeyer and Dryzek, 2007, p. 500). This view upon deliberation is highly pluralistic and remains as the main requirement for an authentic deliberative process to happen. However, this has been formulated earlier by, for example, Hannah
