“…Such distinctions, both temporal and geographical, often reflect 'present investments' (Collins, 2009: 609) in that a historical movement is seen to support or reinforce contemporary objectives. Presentist histories of toleration have been questioned for a number of reasons, among them the resilience of persecution well after the alleged decline of the 'persecuting society' or a lack of concern with social practices (Walsham, 2006;Kaplan, 2007). Yet regarding the constitutive role of tolerance in how liberal-democratic polities conceive of their identity, it would seem rather misguided to reject its value on the basis of such historical misunderstandings.…”

<p>ACCEPT PLURALISM is a Research Project, funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program. The project investigates whether European societies have become more or less tolerant during the past 20 years. In particular, the project aims to clarify: (a) how is tolerance defined conceptually, (b) how it is codified in norms, institutional arrangements, public policies and social practices, (c) how tolerance can be measured (whose tolerance, who is tolerated, and what if degrees of tolerance vary with reference to different minority groups). The ACCEPT PLURALISM consortium conducts original empirical research on key issues in school life and in politics that thematise different understandings and practices of tolerance. Bringing together empirical and theoretical findings, ACCEPT PLURALISM generates a State of the Art Report on Tolerance and Cultural Diversity in Europe, a Handbook on Ideas of Tolerance and Cultural Diversity in Europe, a Tolerance Indicators’ Toolkit where qualitative and quantitative indicators may be used to score each country’s performance on tolerating cultural diversity, and several academic publications (books, journal articles) on Tolerance, Pluralism and Cultural Diversity in Europe. The ACCEPT PLULARISM consortium is formed by 18 partner institutions covering 15 EU countries. The project is hosted by the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies and co-ordinated by Prof. Anna Triandafyllidou. </p>

“…. [which] disclosed a new and unorthodox future" (Koselleck, 1985, 22;O'Hara, 2010, 66-68; see also Kaplan, 2007 for an alternative view), that undermined the assumption that history had meaning. Other non-religious factors also contributed to this draining of meaning from history, such as "the deep rupture in remembered experience that came with the French Revolution" (Fritzsche, 2004, 16).…”

Modernity" is a social, cultural or historical descriptor for a certain type of society or set of social arrangements. This monograph reviews narratives of digital modernity, without endorsing them; as narratives, they selectively discuss aspects of our sociotechnical context, descriptively, teleologically or normatively. Digital modernity narratives focus on the possibilities of the data gathered by an ambient data infrastructure, enabled by ubiquitous devices such as the smartphone, and activities such as social networking and e-commerce. Some emphasise continuities with 20th century modernity narratives, while others emphasise discontinuity, such as theories of the singularity. Digital modernity is characterised by: a subjunctive outlook where people's choices can be anticipated and improved upon; the valorisation of disruptive innovation on demand; and control provided by data analysis within a virtual realm (cyberspace or the metaverse) which can be extended and applied to the physical world (in such applications as the quantified self and the smart city). The synergies and tensions between these three aspects are explored, as are the opportunities for and dilemmas posed by misinformation. Five principles emerge from the study of relevant texts and business models: (1) the quantity of data being produced in the world has enabled, and been enabled by, technological, social, economic and

“…In pre-Enlightenment Europe, witch trials were conducted to persecute various groups and individuals considered outsiders to the religious ingroup, including alleged heretics, side-switchers, and witches. For example, referring to the Middle Ages,Buc (2023, p. 129) observes that "[w]ar in a Christian universe entailed what may seem like a paranoid attention to side-switchers" (see also, in a similar vein,Kaplan, 2007).9 Broadly, scholarship on the (new) economics of religion explores how various aspects of religion inform cultural, economic, and institutional developments. For a necessarily incomplete list, we refer toIannaccone (1998),Barro and McCleary (2003),Guiso et al (2003),McCleary and Barro (2006),Young (2009),Durlauf et al (2012),Woodberry (2012),Belloc et al (2016), …”
