在《宽容》里，房龙从人文主义立场出发，从历史源头反省人类的愚昧和偏执，他发现对于异己的恐惧是所有不宽容的起因。由于信仰、道德、风俗等的不同，人类形成了不同的利益群体。每个群体在偏执和固执所构成的壁垒森严的城堡里，抵御着外界和来自外界的影响。偏执和固执给人类带来了很多悲剧，许多追求自由新知的人物为冲出这壁垒而殉身。
很耐心地读完了这本书。这应该不是一本历史书，更像一个学识渊博的老人在娓娓道来几千年的人性。大学毕业的时候读过，那时候是感到惊讶，觉得人类怎么会如此不可理喻。后来又读过几次，每每心浮气躁读了一半又放下，因为没由头的越读越烦躁。现在老了，再一次读这本书时，终于心静如水，没有吃惊，没有烦躁，只是静静读那些血淋淋的故事，累了就看看外面的万家灯火。
A very meaningful book to be recommended to our contemporary youth. As the author wrote in the last chapter, at the bottom of intolerance lies fear. We shall overcome and triumph over our fear. Most of my comments in this version of the book are corrections of typos. Hope these edits will make it easier for those who read it after.
The aim of this book is not just to defend tolerance, it also presents a world where differences are cherished. It is highly recommended to anyone who seeks to understand the importance of respecting diverse viewpoints as well as maintaining social cohesion. Tolerance should never be deemed as a sign of weakness but a way to demonstrate the strength and maturity in both individuals and society as a whole.
