Abstract
The concept of tolerance has been idealized and abstracted from its historical pedigree and the actual experience of tolerating, and a growing number of scholars are dissatisfied with tolerance as a value for the contemporary age; they call for a movement beyond tolerance. A hermeneutical approach and a phenomenological approach were used to explicate 63 written descriptions and 7 interviews, respectively, of experiences that involved tolerating another followed by a change in perception and positive experience of that same person. The findings convey two main forms of changes in perception beyond tolerance related to giving to the other or receiving from the other. The general structure of the experience is described in terms of before and after a discontinuous revelation of the other, and some implications are considered.
