Why? Because, as I will argue in chapter 3, we say that a person is tolerant when she exhibits endurance, acceptance, indifference, and constraint with respect to the right actions and things, in the right circumstances, and to the right degree. Right judgment about concrete matters such as these is the very soul of this, and every other, moral virtue. But this means that tolerance itself cannot be justly resented simply because it includes these judgments, or because they are difficult to make, or because the conflicts and disagreements that tolerance is expected to address are frequently reproduced in our debates and contests over its substance, scope, and limits.
