Extremism and “Variations in Vital Tone”
Extremism and “Variations in Vital Tone”

Summary/Abstract: This article argues that extremism has its roots in a system of faith which is far from the one of the main culture, and it permits a reduced flexibility or tolerance towards other faiths. These faiths can be religious, political, or often a mixture of both. Even from ancient times religion was considered to be the source of extremism problem, the willingness to die for a cause being, perhaps, the most extreme characteristic of religious extremism. Extremism is an individual or group reaction against threat, even if it does not correspond to reality.
