The concept of tolerance is rendered through three different ways of perceiving the relationship between the subject and the surrounding world: the sharp separation of ‘I’ and ‘non-I’ where the second item is objectified and/or monstrualized as the eternal Other; the blurred borders between the spheres of ‘I” and ‘non-I’ resulting from the, generally understood, cultural tradition of the East based on the paradoxical logic; the dialogical relation ‘I ‘ – ‘You’, where the ‘non-I’ perceived as the person conditions the constitution of the human identity – the option rooted in Chasidic tradition continued by the philosophy of dialog. The author binds the above analyses within the frames of old stories of Mother Goose.
