内容简介《宽容》(英文)讲述宗教史上的对立与融合、迫害与反迫害,历来是个复杂而敏感的问题。房龙以他犀利的眼光,从不同宗教派别的冲突中去寻找背后的深层根源。最终他看到:历史上的宗教改革家假以“宗教改革”的名义,对一切不利于自己发展的思想创新进行残酷迫害,这种精神上的不宽容导致的恰是他们的“敌人”犯下的那些错误。借助于房龙的“宽容”之眼,我们不难对宗教史乃至一切精神文化现象的发展有一个清晰的轮廓。
作者简介房龙,荷裔美国作家,房龙1882年出生于荷兰鹿特丹市一个珠宝商家庭里,一直境遇不佳,直到1921年8月,房龙的人生旅程出现了出人意料的进展,他应邀去安蒂奥克学院担任社会学系主任,并在这儿完成了主要给儿童读的《人类的故事》。这本书好评如潮,以此为始,《圣经的故事》、《宽容》等书相继出版,在二战时曾针锋相对西特勒的《我的奋斗》而写下《我们的奋斗》。

文摘书摘
I have read the stories of miracles.
But one of them was lacking;the miracle of the survival of man.
How and in what manner and why the most defenseless of all mammals should have been able to maintain himself against microbes and mastodons and ice and heat and eventually become master of all creation,is something I shall not try to solve in the present chapter.
One thing, however, is certain. He never could have accomplished all this alone.
In order to succeed he was obliged to sink his individuality in the composite character of the tribe.
In such an atmosphere of intellectual and spiritual freedom, in a city filled with the pungent smell of ships from all the seven seas, rich with fabrics of the Orient, merry with the laughter of a well fed and contented populace,Thales was born, In such a city he worked and taught and in such a city he died. If the conclusions which he reached differed greatly from the opinions held by most of his neighbors, remember that his ideas never penetrated beyond a very limited circle. The average Miletian may have heard the name of Thales,just as the average New Yorker has probably heard the name of Einstein. Ask him who Einstein is,and he will answer that he is a fellow with long hair who smokes a pipe and plays the fiddle and who wrote something about a man walking through a railroad train, about which there once was an article in a Sunday paper.
That this strange person who smokes a pipe and plays the fiddle has got hold of a little spark of truth which eventually may upset (or at least greatly modify) the scientific conclusions of the last sixty centuries,is a matter of profound indifference to the millions of easy-going citizens whose interest in mathematics does not reach beyond the confliet which arises when their favorite batsman tries to upset the law of gravity.
The text-books of ancient history usually get rid of the difficulty by printing "Thales of Miletus (640-546 B. C.
