Notes on religious tolerance establishments
Keywords:
Religious Tolerance, Political Liberalism, Public Justification, Public ReasonAbstract
In this article we present some of the last decades’ contributions to the foundation of religious tolerance principles, and discuss religious reasons’ standing in the public space of liberal-democratic societies. At first, we featured issues found by exclusivist and inclusivist normative models. After evaluating how each of the cited theories supports its thesis while assesses the other’s weaknesses – based upon its own interpretation about Rawls’ public reason idea –, we introduced two religious tolerance theories on libertarianism and equality. When we broadened John Rawls’ public reason analysis in light of religious tolerance, this rule can be compared to standard criteria studied by other liberal who supports equality, Ronald Dworkin. Finally, we examined how Jürgen Habermas’ critical theory gives new meaning to tolerance principles defined by the aforementioned authors, and proposes, in a normative manner, a new model for religious tolerance.
