Tolerance : Experiments with Freedom in the NetherlandsIntroduction

Tolerance : Experiments with Freedom in the Netherlands: Introduction [The introductory chapter presents the theoretical and conceptual framework of Tolerance: Experiments with Freedom in the Netherlands. The book concentrates on experiments with freedom and toleration in the Netherlands, which in the 1960s took the lead in a worldwide emancipation process. It was the first country to legalize euthanasia, soft drugs and gay marriage, albeit not always in a fully liberal way. In its analysis of political and social practice, the book views Dutch society as a social laboratory in which the political philosophy of liberalism is put to the test. This approach is based on the assumption that mankind can learn from both historical and current experience.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The introductory chapter presents the theoretical and conceptual framework of Tolerance: Experiments with Freedom in the Netherlands. The book concentrates on experiments with freedom and toleration in the Netherlands, which in the 1960s took the lead in a worldwide emancipation process. It was the first country to legalize euthanasia, soft drugs and gay marriage, albeit not always in a fully liberal way. In its analysis of political and social practice, the book views Dutch society as a social laboratory in which the political philosophy of liberalism is put to the test. This approach is based on the assumption that mankind can learn from both historical and current experience.]
