Tolerance at Søren Kierkegaard
Abstract
Søren Kierkegaard’s contact with the concept of toleration is conditioned by the modern use of the term. This notion found its way into Denmark’s religious, social, and political discussions through N. F. S. Grundtvig, one of the main figures in Kierkegaard’s intellectual context. Kierkegaard takes distance from Grundtvig’s concept of indifferent toleration, but at the same time, he rejects a violent and coercive form of intolerance. In this framework, this paper aims to adumbrate the role that toleration plays in Kierkegaard’s Christian thought and the contribution that it might entail to revise intersubjective and social relationships.
