Information

Examination topics

Lectures, followed by discussions.

Assessment and permitted materials

Since the course is designed as a VO-L, we will ask students to read some texts in preparation for the final exam. The final exam will have the form of a "take home"-exercise.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The lecture shall aim to achieve two goals: On the one hand, we will discuss some of the most influential texts in the (mainly European) history of philosophy that have tolerance as their main topic. On the other hand, we will explore contemporary conceptualizations of tolerance so as to determine their potential for grappling with the pressing problems of internally diverse societies.
