“Unlimited
tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend
unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not
prepared to defend a tolerant society... then the tolerant will be
destroyed, and tolerance with them... We should therefore claim, in the
name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
- Karl R. Popper, born 28 July 1902.
Austro-British philosopher and professor at the London School of
Economics. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers
of science of the 20th century, known for his vigorous defence of
liberal democracy and the principles of social criticism that he came to
believe made a flourishing "open society" possible.
