ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces the seven definitional conditions of toleration: the presence of an agent; who intentionally; and on principle; refrains from interfering with; an opposed; other though; and she believes she has the power to interfere. Toleration of the loss of the aesthetic value of the garden may be based on the value of the deer. Though autonomy may be the more canonical value in cases of toleration, so long as either of these values—of the other or of toleration—provides the basis for noninterference, people would have a case of toleration. Including "value" as a condition of toleration may seem to make toleration ineliminably normative. There is an ineliminably normative component of the definition. The value behind the principled noninterference, like any value, is normative. The chapter considers the racial toleration. There are racists who are racists because they falsely associate a particular set of behaviors with people from the racial group they hate.
