RE: Politik 084 - Was sind Buntheit, Vielfalt und Toleranz?
We uncover a deep connection between tolerance, diversity, and the social contract. We investigate a simple model in which individuals possess salient traits and behave cooperatively when the difference between their trait and the trait of their counterpart is less than their ‘tolerance level’. If traits are fixed and correspond to permanent or semipermanent features of the individual, such as religion or race, social contract formation is a remote possibility. If traits are malleable, social contract formation is possible but comes at the steep cost of diversity and tolerance, that is, individuals are unwilling to cooperate with those much different from themselves!
Thank you for the comment!
As I found it is a quote from the abstract of a scientific article:
Diversity, tolerance, and the social contract. Justin P. Bruner, Australian National University; Article in Politics, Philosophy & Economics 14(4):429-448, November 2015.
You're right!
I wanted to share with you!
