Religious Pluralism in the Lebanese Literary Heritage
Abstract
This paper will exhibit four approaches of religious tolerance (the liberal, pragmatic, epistemological, and coexistence tolerance) on the writings of Lebanese liberal thinkers respectively: Ameen Fares Rihani, Gibran Kahlil Gibran, Jawdat Haydar, and Imam Moussa Sadr by elaborating on their views of religious tolerance throughout their oral and written discourse. Additionally, it will indicate their personal reactions and proposals concerning the dilemma of intolerance—a contemporary issue threatening national and international peace.
