THE MODERN CONCEPT OF "TOLERANCE" PHILOSOPHICAL DEFINITION

 Interethnic harmony and religious tolerance are among the basic principles of a 
democratic society. Tolerance ensures harmony between citizens, does not allow aggravation of 
social and national differences. In addition, protects society from the occurrence of such conflicts. 
Today,  not  only  in  our  country,  but  also  throughout  the  world,  religious  tolerance,  interfaith 
mutual  respect,  and  understanding  of  each  other  are becoming  the  basic  principles  of  life.  The true  essence  of  the  reforms  carried  out  in  our  country  is  also  aimed  at  further  increasing  the international prestige of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This gives our country,focused on interethnic harmony and religious tolerance, the conduct of a foreign policy in accordance with the national interests of Uzbekistan. The  article  is  devoted  to  the  analysis  of  modern  practices  of  introducing  tolerance  in societies with liberal ideology. It is based on the opinionthat the modern practice of tolerance in the  West  does  not  lead  to  individual  changes  in  society, but  to  the  formation  of  a  new  social reality. The following signs of  a change in social reality are identified: a change in norms and values,  a  change  in  social  consciousness,  the  transformation  of  the  majority  into  a  minority,  a change in the system of social management. The article emphasizes the manipulative nature of the tolerance  practices  of  the  modern  West,  which,  under  the  guise  of  a  noble  idea,  forms  a  “new normal” in accordance with the “great reset”.
