In the contemporary world tolerance has became a widely recognized value and a fundamental moral principle. Plurality in our world is a challenge for a man who is supposed to be tolerant. As a result of excessive language usage in modern discourse, tolerance lost its distinct meaning and sense. They should be sought through philosophical analysis. In the perspective of value ethics, tolerance reveals itself as a moral value founded on other values such as humility in the face of truth, recognition of other people’s dignity and freedom, acceptance of differences etc. Taking it out of this context and making it an autonomous moral principle appears to be a misunderstanding. Deeply set in other values, tolerance is a variety of justice and does not pose a threat to classically understood ethos of man.
