"Toleration: A Critical Introduction is a comprehensive and accessible philosophical introduction to the theory and practice of toleration. The first part of the book clearly introduces and assesses the major theories of toleration through an exploration of accounts based on scepticism, value pluralism and the demands of reasonableness. Catriona McKinnon also draws on major liberal thinkers - from Locke and Mill to Rawls and Feinberg - in order to examine the relation between harm and toleration."--BOOK JACKET
