James Bohman on Toleration - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 164 Toleration/deliberative democracy/discourse theories/Bohman: [the] two features of toleration - as perspective taking and as normative attitude in communication - take up the sceptical challenge of putative limits of discourse. >Toleration/Discourse theories. a) A regime of toleration is illegitimate if it denies discursive entitlements by falsely generalizing the perspective of the tolerating group so that they can reject the claims and reasons of the tolerated group. b) A regime of toleration is just if it permits citizens to fulfil their obligations of justification to all if they are to respect the equal entitlement of each to contribute to the definition of their society. The toleration of perspectives is a matter not only of first-order communication, but of the second-order properties of the regime that aims at protecting the integrity of communication and deliberation (Young, 1997(1); 2000(2)). Bohman: In this respect, toleration is a second-order property of the framework that creates a deliberative community. It is also a property of citizens, who are obligated to exhibit concern for democratic communication. When coupled with critical reflection on the conditions of successful communication, toleration acts as a form of anti- power to overcome the restrictions of ideology on the structure of communication in democratic processes. 1.
