Abstract | Tolerance (and, of course, intolerance) and identity play key roles in our interaction with the world and the other. An extremely fruitful source for gaining a more precise understanding of the questions and problems that arise in the encounter with otherness are the reflections of thinkers in the Middle Ages. This session will consider the theme of tolerance in relation to a number of medieval authors. Each proposed paper addresses in its title the set theme of the 2016 Congress and each contributor is a participant in the Tolerance, Plurality, and the Image of the Other research cluster of Maynooth University. |
