%X La tol¨¦rance et la neutralit¨¦ sont habituellement consid¨¦r¨¦es comme des r¨¦ponses interchangeables ou du moins compl¨¦mentaires ¨¤ des situations de conflit et de d¨¦saccord moral. Malgr¨¦ cette association traditionnelle, plusieurs auteurs ont r¨¦cemment contest¨¦ la compl¨¦mentarit¨¦, voire m¨ºme la compatibilit¨¦, de ces deux notions. Cet article examine tout d¡¯abord deux arguments qui visent ¨¤ ¨¦tablir l¡¯incompatibilit¨¦ de la tol¨¦rance et de la neutralit¨¦. Il montre ensuite que si ces arguments ne sont pas probants, en ce sens qu¡¯ils ne parviennent pas ¨¤ montrer l¡¯impossibilit¨¦ d¡¯une conciliation entre tol¨¦rance et neutralit¨¦, ils mettent n¨¦anmoins en ¨¦vidence deux difficult¨¦s qui se dressent sur le chemin d¡¯une telle conciliation. Il introduit enfin une conception particuli¨¨re de la tol¨¦rance fond¨¦e sur l¡¯id¨¦e de justice et indique comment elle permet de rem¨¦dier aux difficult¨¦s pr¨¦c¨¦demment mises en ¨¦vidence. Toleration and neutrality are usually considered as interchangeable or at least complementary responses to situations of conflict and moral disagreement. However, several authors have recently challenged the complementarity, and even the compatibility, of these two ideas. The paper details this challenge and examines how it can be met. The first part details two arguments against the compatibility of toleration and neutrality. The second shows that if these arguments are not convincing ¨C in the sense that they fail to prove theimpossibilityof conciliating toleration with neutrality ¨C they nevertheless help us to identify two problemsthat may prevent such a reconciliation. The third part sketches a justice-based conception of toleration and explains how it enables us to solve the two problems previously identified.
