Tolerancja – szacunek dla odmienności

Tolerance is an imperfect human response to human imperfectness, and is revealed, among other phenomena, in an inevitably subjective character of the criteria which we use in making moral choices. Freedom of citizens in the face of law entails freedom of accepting one’s own hierarchy of values, within the area encircled by the borderlines of the rule of respect to the freedom of others. Tolerance which is defined in that way is a mode of conflict-free co-existence of representatives of various cultural, religious world-views traditions in a global society. It should be implemented in legal norms as well as by public institutions.
