"Tolerance" by Hendrik Willem Van Loon is a philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. This work addresses the concept of tolerance throughout history, examining how ignorance and intolerance have shaped human societies. The narrative begins with a metaphoric story set in a "Valley of Ignorance," symbolizing the struggle between knowledge and fear of the unknown, suggesting the author's intention to challenge established ideas and promote intellectual freedom. At the start of this volume, the reader is introduced to a realm where people live in blissful ignorance, following ancient laws without question. A wanderer returns from beyond the mountains, sharing knowledge and urging them to explore new horizons, but met with hostility and ultimately death for his views. This sets the stage for a broader discussion on ignorance and the consequences of intolerance in society. Van Loon further critiques historical figures like Justinian, highlighting the oppressive nature of authoritarian rule that stifles inquiry and thought, thereby initiating a call for intellectual liberation and the necessity of tolerance as a means to progress.
