Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project is a collaboration of three scholars who have leading roles in a major academic society on Puritan studies in Japan. The members of the project inquired, with the help of prominent researchers on Islamic studies, inquired into the development of the Puritan concept of toleration to make it serviceable in the 21st-century discussion on religion in the public sphere. It resulted in laying the groundwork for inter-religious dialogue by nurturing the conceptions of toleration inherent in and extracted from within each tradition.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
一般に不寛容と見なされてきた宗教には、それぞれの伝統の内部に他者への寛容を要請する内在的な動機が含まれている。異なる思想や主義主張の交錯がますます盛んになる現代社会では、外から寛容の要求を押し付けるのではなく、その体系や伝統にもともと内在している対話や交渉の能力を発展させ顕在化させることで、平和共存と相互理解の可能性を高めることができる。
