Limitations Of Toleration

""The Limitations of Toleration"" is a collection of essays written by Robert G. Ingersoll, a famous American orator and freethinker, in the late 19th century. In these essays, Ingersoll argues that while toleration is a valuable and necessary principle in a free society, it has its limitations. He critiques those who use toleration as an excuse for apathy or indifference, and argues that there are certain beliefs and actions that should not be tolerated, such as bigotry, cruelty, and oppression. Ingersoll also discusses the role of religion in society, and argues that religious beliefs should not be given special privileges or exemptions from criticism. Overall, ""The Limitations of Toleration"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the boundaries of tolerance and the responsibilities of a free society.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
