Dieses Buch eröffnet seinen Lesern auch eine umfassendere Perspektive auf das Thema Toleranz. Während Toleranz im politischen Diskurs häufig auf Duldung Andersdenkender und -lebender oder auf ziviles Engagement gegen Intoleranz reduziert wird, stellt dieses Buch eine grundlegende Wertschätzung der Vielfalt, den proaktiven Dialog und einen Lernprozess ins Zentrum. Positive Erfahrungen aus einem gelungenen Dialog mit dem Anderen sind Ressourcen für gesellschaftliche Toleranz und nachhaltigen Frieden. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist der melting pot Ukraine eine erfahrungs- und ressourcenreiche Region, von der weltweit Philosophen, Theologen, Ethiker, Historiker, Politikwissenschaftler eine Menge lernen können.
