Description

„Nowa nietolerancja religijna” została napisana przez Marthę C. Nussbaum w dziesięć lat po atakach na Wolrd Trade Center. Jej głównym tematem jest wolność mniejszości oraz lęk przed islamem, który od lat rośnie wśród mieszkańców zachodniego świata. Nussbaum opisuje kulturową i polityczną historię rozszerzania się wolności religijnej na Zachodzie oraz rozważa najbardziej palące spory na temat obecności innych kultury i religii w Europie i USA (spór o minarety w Szwajcarii, spór o burkę we Francji i Belgii). Jako spadkobierczyni myśli Johna Rawlsa robi to z pozycji tradycji liberalnej, kładąc z jednej strony nacisk na neutralność religijną państwa, z drugiej – na potrzebę zachowania szacunku dla religijnych przekonań innych obywateli i wykształcenie w sobie współczującej wyobraźni.***„Kiedyś, wcale nie tak dawno temu, Amerykanie i Europejczycy chlubili się swoją oświeconą postawą religijnej tolerancji i zrozumienia. Choć dla każdego było jasne, że historię Zachodu znamionowały silna religijna wrogość i przemoc, Europa jeszcze do niedawna lubowała się w myśleniu, że te mroczne czasy odeszły w przeszłość. Obecnie mamy wiele powodów, aby powątpiewać w tę pełną zadowolenia samoocenę. Znaleźliśmy się w sytuacji, która wymaga od nas natychmiastowego przeprowadzenia krytycznego rachunku sumienia, po to aby ujawnić źródło niewygodnych strachów i podejrzeń, gnębiących obecnie wszystkie społeczeństwa Zachodu”.
