| Abstract | This contribution looks at several theoretical premises on the absence of the notion and, indeed, the word ?tolerance? from the works of Benedict de Spinoza. Spinoza does not use the notion or the word ?tolerance?, replacing it with a doctrine that entitles difference to exist and to act as difference. Spinoza?s theses are studied in terms of two theoretical premises behind the idea of ?tolerance?: on the one hand is the ?election? of a people (starting with the Hebrews) as the depository of the true religion and the true relationship with God; on the other is the concept of ?revelation?, which is the historical and theoretical condition of ?election?. Spinoza rejects ?election? as cognitive, moral and religious, conceding only that, according to the Scriptures, the Jews received a special external help from God to establish their State. Regarding ?revelation?, Spinoza rules out the theory that God can communicate with Man in forms outside the power of natural intellect. In historical terms, deducible from Biblical exegesis, Spinoza observes that prophetic revelation, which depends solely on the imagination, bears no mathematical or intuitive certainty, only moral certainty. Therefore, with the collapse of the two pillars of ?true religion?, a precondition for ?tolerance?, ?tolerance? itself has no right to exist, and it has been replaced by the simple right of difference to exist, simply because it exists. |
