Claudio Magris
The Fair of Tolerance
Essay for the Erasmus Prize 2001
Tolerance and its contradictions constitute a universal problem, which today confronts both conscience and legislation with an urgency hitherto unparalleled in history, writes Claudio Magris. A united Europe will find its universal principles - the core of a tolerance that is more than nobly rhetorical - put to a severe test. Only if the objective difficulties are not underrated can one hope to overcome them.
