GLOBALIZATION AND TOLERANCE

Zoran Kurelić ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author shows why Gray’s modus vivendi tolerance has not been particularly effective in designing stable global governance. The essay is divided into two parts. The first part describes Gray’s link between globalization and tolerance, and the second presents Barry’s disproof of Hobbesian justice as mutual utility, and Barry’s criticism of Locke’s argument for tolerance. The author uses Barry’s theoretical maneuvers to show why he does not find Gray’s solution particularly convincing. Although he accepts Gray’s idea of pluralism derived from incommensurability, the author is of the opinion that it does not exclude a possibility of a supracultural pursuit of a consensus on how the planet ought to be governed to the benefit of all.
