Living in a plural society: politics, minorities, and religious diversity

4 rue Paul Claudel
38100 Grenoble
In partnership with The Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life (Columbia University, New York) and La Maleta de Portbou. In collaboration with Libération.
Presented by : Marc Semo. With : Karen Barkey, Esther Benbassa, Sudipta Kaviraj and Nadia Urbinati.
What is tolerance? Does it mean respecting differences, does it refer to the absence of persecution of minorities or the promotion of the wealth that a plural society provides? Should political institutions be the ones to organize it, or should responsibility rather be placed on the level of individual practices? Which role should we give to the religious within a multicultural society?
This dialogue will happen 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.
Reservations are closed. You can still show up on the day of the event and take your last-minute tickets.
