Introduction to “Legalismo moral y tolerancia. Crónica de una muerte anunciada” by René González de la vega

Abstract

In this issue a discussion of the place of tolerance in liberalism is collected. Coinciding with this, the theory of John Rawls has meant the possibility to combine different ideas, under a just and stable political framework between the citizens of a community divided by religious, philosophical and moral doctrines; tolerance is the mechanism to help deal with conflicts that may arise. However, assuming that pluralism stands, the concept of tolerance has played a central role. This idea aims to discuss Rene Gonzales de la Vega in “Moral legalism and tolerance. Chronicle of a death foretold”, which concerns what the citizen tolerance arises, that is, the cost that often represents to them.
