The interview with Thomas Scanlon explores the main issues associated with philosophical research on toleration. His focus on some of the contemporary controversies illustrates the importance of conceptual research on issues that continue to divide our societies. Of particular relevance is Prof. Scanlon’s further elaboration of his ideas published in two of his most well-know essays on toleration (i.e. ‘The Difficulty of Tolerance’ (2003) and ‘Further Reflections on Tolerance and its Difficulty’ (2018)) and the way these two essays stand against (as well as complement) each other.
