True tolerance
Liberalism and the Necessity of Judgment
Book • 1992
In True Tolerance, J. Budziszewski challenges the contemporary notion that tolerance demands withholding moral judgment, arguing instead that genuine tolerance presupposes recognizing good and evil.
He traces the etymology and practical meaning of tolerance as bearing what one judges bad, and defends the necessity of judgment for a healthy liberal society.
The book critiques forms of bad faith and authoritarianism that cloak intolerance as neutrality.
Budziszewski offers philosophical and practical defenses of moral discernment in education and public life.
His accessible style aims to equip readers to distinguish between true tolerance and its more destructive modern substitutes.
