Толерантность и терпимость

«Толерантность для меня - это интерес, уважение и соучастие в культурно-другом, культурно-инаковом. Вот терпимость, когда я терплю, что моя церковь, а рядом с ней находится мечеть и синагога – все в одном квартале. А толерантность это когда я, православный верующий, вместе с евреем-иудаистом помогаю мусульманину строить его мечеть. Толерантность – это знание инаковости как части собственного».

Валерий Тишков, директор института антропологии и этнологии РАН
