This anthology presents the initial findings of research projects conducted by the ›Tolerance Research Unit‹, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), to a wider audience. The focus is on the ›Disapproval-Respect Model of Tolerance‹ developed by Bernd Simon. According to this model, tolerance is understood as disapproval tamed by respect, or as respect burdened by disapproval. Respect means recognition of equality – i.e., disapproved others are to be recognised as different but equal. What may sound very abstract in theory becomes more concrete in the individual contributions to this anthology, as the participating scholars examine the model in their respective projects for its suitability or transferability to their respective fields of research in Social and Organisational Psychology, Protestant Theology, Modern German Literature, Philosophy, History, and Islamic/Iranian Studies.
