What is tolerance? How do we truly tolerate someone? Is tolerance dangerous? Should we tolerate ideas that could be dangerous?
In this episode we seek to dissect the idea of tolerance with Dr. Mike Gurney, a professor of ethics, philosophy and theology at Multnomah University. The conversation starts off considering the nature of belief and how we want to seek out truth and believe things that we are convinced are indeed true. The nature of truth is a bit elusive and we spend alot of time trying to figure out if there is an objective truth or if truth is relative. There is much discussion on Nietzsche and other influential philosophers and all those guys and how they're ideas were passed on and are still being talked about today. We touch on the enlightenment and discuss the difference between tolerance of ideas and people. Eventually we discuss if we should take down the systems now or if we need to reform the system we have now. Toward the end we spend time discussing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and extrapolating from there the intent of the founding fathers.
