Mankind in the Making

The book explores the evolving concept of toleration, contrasting past attitudes with contemporary perspectives. Historically, toleration involved a dismissive acceptance of differing beliefs, while today it embraces the idea that personal certainties can coexist without imposing absolute truths on others. It emphasizes the complexity of human experience, suggesting that moral obligations and perceptions can vary significantly among individuals. This shift acknowledges that ethical, social, and political questions may lack universally applicable answers, highlighting the nuanced nature of human understanding and interaction.
