It does go both ways in German usage. Is somebody tolerant for letting
other views or tastes prevail, like tolerance of bad music or political
corruption? Or is somebody tolerant for engaging other views verbally,
facing the possibility that one's views might be wrong, therefore
tolerating the insecurity of exposure and dispute (unlike most forums and
lists)?

A tolerant attitude has to include, in this frame, not merely accepting
other tastes' potential nonsense, but also accepting possibility of one's
own bad taste, engaging such possibility by discussion and interaction
without shame.

I guess capacity of aesthetic judgement, what taste boils down to both
"internally" and in our ability to convey such through some language,
formal or not, or means of interaction, e.g. music, cooking, or making
love, is graded and can always become more refined as we grow; which is why
my ear is better than when I first picked up a guitar, and why it is so
much worse than somebody who has played 20 years more than me. This also
translates to the ability to communicate that.

An overly defensive, insecure or arrogant attitude is what leads to
disputes feared in the Latin quote and marks to some extent everybody being
close-minded. When are we tolerant and when are we too afraid to step in
when ugly stuff happens? Good point, Brent.

"Careful analysis shows that to the three grades of valency of  
indecomposable concepts correspond

three classes of characters or predicates.

Firstly come " firstnesses," or positive internal characters of the  
subject in itself;


secondly come "secondnesses," or brute actions of one subject or  
substance on another,

regardless of law or of any third subject;

thirdly comes "thirdnesses," or the mental or quasi-mental influence  
of one subject on

another relatively to a third." ('Pragmatism', CP 5.469, 1907)



Firstness is the mode of being of that which is such as it is,  
positively and without reference to anything else.
Secondness is the mode of being of that which is such as it is, with  
respect to a second but regardless of any third.
Thirdness is the mode of being of that which is such as it is, in  
bringing a second and third into relation to each other."
