The Limitations Of Toleration

""The Limitations of Toleration"" is a collection of essays written by American lawyer and orator Robert G. Ingersoll, originally published in 1887. In these essays, Ingersoll argues that while tolerance is a virtue, it has its limitations and should not be extended to ideas or beliefs that are harmful, oppressive, or dangerous. He takes aim at religious dogma, superstition, and bigotry, and argues that they should not be tolerated in a free and enlightened society. Ingersoll also addresses the role of government in regulating speech and behavior, arguing that while freedom of expression is important, it should not be used to justify hate speech or actions that harm others. Throughout the book, Ingersoll's writing is characterized by his wit, humor, and eloquence, making it a thought-provoking and entertaining read.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
