Because of the inherited tradition of Modernity, there is a strong relation between tolerance and rational autonomy. By examining examples, I show that sometimes people lead their lives according to conceptions beyond rational considerations, and therefore do not satisfy the criterion of rational autonomy; but even so their views are legitimate and should be tolerated. I conclude by arguing that tolerance cannot rely solely on the concept of autonomy, instead I propose a concept of tolerance based on the harm principle: we cannot perform actions that significantly affect other people, preventing them from living according to conceptions of good that are deeply meaningful to them.
