The problem of intolerance is not as much social as it is ontological. Raising a rational element
in man as a key one in determining the truth and existence, places man’s mind as the only
criterion for truth and brings into question all that disagrees with his personal (subjective) views
and experiences. In conjunction with freedom, which characterizes man as a being, such
ontology becomes the source of distrust and intolerance to all that is different. We need the
other, in the best case, to meet our needs and passions, which certainly no man accepts;
therefore, there emerges resistance and struggle for dominance. To overcome the problem, it is
not sufficient to reduce social differences among people, nor can it be achieved by education,
if it is to develop self-conscious in people, or by enacting laws on the protection of human
rights. To solve the problem to some extent, we need a new metaphysical principle of existence
i.e. we need new ontology. In this essay the author p...resents his view of the problem of
intolerance and pleads for solving it by reminding us of Orthodox Christian ontology based on
the following attitudes: man expresses his freedom as love for the other; freedom of personality
is a source of existence for another personality; the other is a source of our existence and not
our »hell« or limitation of our freedom.
