Synopsis

We live in a multicultural age of conflicting values. Some refer to this as a "postmodern" era, in which the values of the European Enlightenment are challenged. The celebration of "tolerance" is a product of these far-reaching trends. This address explores: What standards can we as Ethical Culturists invoke in our relations with cultures not our own? "Is there such a thing as 'false tolerance'?" "Where does Ethical Culture stake its claim in this changing world?"
