ABSTRACT
The aim of this book has been to connect the best contemporary theory of toleration with some of the hardest current real world cases by showing how sympathetic reconstructions of arguments opposed to liberal practices of toleration go straight to the heart of the theory of toleration that holds the most promise with respect to the justification of these practices. In other words, the reasonableness defence of toleration, and the account of political harm in terms of liberal rights that accompanies it and sets the limits of toleration, is problematised by consideration of the objections of groups and persons whose practices either lie outside the limits of toleration, on this account, or who bring complaints of political harm against those whose practices lie inside these limits.
