Tolerance as/in Civilizational Discourse(abbreviated version of chapter 6, Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity)
Wendy BrownUniversity of California, Berkeley
Civilization is the humanisation of man in society.
Matthew Arnold, 1879
...along side an infinite diversity of cultures, there does exist one, global civilization in which humanity’s ideas and beliefs meet and develop peacefully and productively. It is a civilization that must be defined by its tolerance of dissent, its celebration of cultural diversity, its insistence on fundamental, universal human rights and its belief in the right of people everywhere to have a say in how they are governed.

Kofi Annan, Secretary-GeneralThe United Nations
We meet here during a crucial period in the history of our nation, and of the civilized world. Part of that history was written by others; the rest will be writtenby us... And by acting, we will signal to outlaw regimes that in this new century,the boundaries of civilized behavior will be respected.

George W. Bush, February 26, 2003
...America and the West have potential partners in these [Islamic] countries who are eager for us to help move the struggle to where it belongs: to a war within Islam over its spiritual message and identity, not a war with Islam...a war between the future and the past, between development and underdevelopment, between authors of crazy conspiracy theories versus those espousing rationality...Only Arabs and Muslims can win this war within, but we can openly encourage the progressives...
