In partnership with The Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life (Columbia University, New York) and La Maleta de Portbou. In collaboration with les Presses Universitaires de France.

Presented by : Olivier Pascal-Moussellard. With : Adrien Candiard, Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Sudipta Kaviraj.

Ideals of tolerance, generosity, and love often animate religions. Yet some believers, in the name of laws they consider as divine, can display vehement intolerance towards those who do not share their ethical beliefs and ideals. Isn’t this a contradiction? Is religious fervor compatible with tolerance and ethical diversity?
This dialogue will take place within the framework of a vast international research program initiated by the Institute for Religion, Culture & Public Life (Columbia University), centering on tolerance and its various models across times and cultures.

The event is full; reservations have now closed. You can still show up on the day of the event and take advantage of any last-minute withdrawals.
