Live and let live as a value
In the SD
peace,
Does the rabbi think that the concept of live and let live can be seen as a value for an atheistic society? Or is it at most a framework for a standard social life? Or can it be seen as a basic premise that is not arbitrary.
For example, if a person claims that jumping a hundred times every day is a basic assumption (and in any case, it is inappropriate to attack it), this would not be seen as a rational act. On the other hand, a person who fulfills a commandment because God commanded it would be seen as a rational act, even though he has no other reason. And here it is already argued that we can also see this as a true value.
So the question is whether a person would claim that “live and let live” is not just a pragmatic claim but that he perceives it as his own *value*. Does it seem to classify it as an irrational act like jumping on the spot or can it be classified as a reasonable and ethical category?
