CHAPTER VIII TOLERATION I Have been assuming that a very wide, though undefined, degree of toleration for diversity of opinion is a good thing. It may reasonably be urged that, if the theory of natural rights is rejected, such an assumption needs proof. In saying a little about toleration, it will be most convenient to go beyond mere freedom of expressing opinion in speech and writing, and to take account also of that form of freedom of action which consists in the free exercise of religious worship and the carrying out of religious principles into outward conduct. I have used the word toleration because it is the name under which the struggle for liberty in matters of belief has been generally fought out. In itself the word, on the whole, has the advantage, rare in terms of controversy, of being neutral. It does not ostentatiously claim to be a good thing -t there was, at least, no absurdity of language in the denunciations of the wickedness of toleration, so common in the seventeenth century. It is still intelligible, and not uncommon, to speak of the toleration of vice or of political corruption as being a bad thing. It is true that in its original use the word implied a certain set of opinions and beliefs and practices approved of by the Church or by the State, while certain other opinions or beliefs and practices, though not accepted nor indeed approved of by the powers that be, might yet be tolerated. In any case the word implies that the right is granted by the community to individuals. It is this suggestion in the term of a special favour or gracious condescension which provoked the indignation of Paine. Toleration, he says, is not the opposite of intolerance, but is the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms. The one. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
