Abstract

Denis Lacorne identifies two competing narratives defining the American identity. The first narrative, derived from the philosophy of the Enlightenment, is essentially secular. Associated with the Founding Fathers and reflected in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers, this line of reasoning is predicated on separating religion from politics to preserve political freedom from an overpowering church. Prominent thinkers such as Voltaire, Thomas Paine, and Jean-Nicolas Démeunier, who viewed the American project as a radical attempt to create a new regime fre

Abstract

The modern notion of tolerance-the welcoming of diversity as a force for the common good-emerged in the Enlightenment in the wake of centuries of religious wars. First elaborated by philosophers such as John Locke and Voltaire, religious tolerance gradually gained ground in Europe and North America. But with the resurgence of fanaticism and terrorism, religious tolerance is increasingly being challenged by frightened publics.In this book, Denis Lacorne traces the emergence of the modern notion of religious tolerance in order to rethink how we should respond to its contemporary tensions. In a wide-ranging argument that spans the Ottoman Empire, the Venetian republic, and recent controversies such as France's burqa ban and the white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, The Limits of Tolerance probes crucial questions: Should we impose limits on freedom of expression in the name of human dignity or decency? Should we accept religious symbols in the public square? Can we tolerate the intolerant? While acknowledging that tolerance can never be entirely without limits, Lacorne defends the Enlightenment concept against recent attempts to circumscribe it, arguing that without it a pluralistic society cannot survive. Awarded the Prix Montyon by the Académie Française, The Limits of Tolerance is a powerful reflection on twenty-first-century democracy's most fundamental challenges.

Abstract

A peine la Révolution américaine était-elle terminée que, de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique, la France entrait en révolution. Le bicentenaire de la Révolution française a été l’occasion pour des historiens spécialistes de l’une ou l’autre histoire nationale de jeter des regards croisés sur les deux événe­ments. Plutôt que de s’interroger sur l’effet de relais d’une révolution à l’autre, ils posent des questions transversales sur les idées, sur les mouve­ments qui ont façonné les sociétés contemporaines et dont les origines révolutionnaires fournissent une clé. L’idée républicaine est perçue diffé­remment en Amérique et en France ; elle évolue dans le temps bref de cha­cune des révolutions, chargée ici d’une conception primordiale de la liberté de l’individu face à l’État, là du primat du Bien public et du droit de l’indi­vidu à l’existence dans l’égalité. Les deux révolutions ont été traversées par des courants internationaux - franc-maçonnerie, piétisme des Quakers, mil­lénarisme sécularisé - dont le dynamisme ou la résistance se sont manifes­tés des deux côtés de l’Atlantique selon les modes particuliers aux conjonc­tures nationales. Droits de l’homme ou Bill of Rights, républicanisme et nationalisme, souveraineté populaire et fraternité universelle : l’un des mérites communs aux deux révolutions fut d’être " des révolutions des anti­cipations
