That there might be an act of endurance that includes this hope, that emerges from love and thus longs for union, for overcoming the conditions that call for its act—this possibility will be considered in chapter 6. In the meantime, we need a better understanding of the endurance that belongs to tolerance. If the argument so far is sound, then tolerance is natural to us as concept, act, and inchoate virtue. Fair enough, some might reply, but what more can we say about tolerance as an actually acquired virtue? What is the object of its act, the matter that it regards, and what ends do the tolerant seek by means of this act? What judgments must they make, what passions affect their actions, and how is tolerance related to the other moral virtues? I have said that it is a potential part of justice, but how exactly is tolerance related to justice and what follows from insisting that it is?
