Conflations and gaps. A response to Nicholas Wolterstorff’s ‘toleration, justice, and dignity’

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This contribution responds to Nicholas Wolterstorff’s argument for religious toleration and freedom of religion respectively that he develops in his paper ‘Toleration, justice and dignity’. I argue that Wolterstorff conflates religious toleration and the right to freedom of religion, which has problematic implications. Moreover, I reveal gaps in his justification of the special worth or dignity of human persons, and, derived from this, freedom of religion.
