The article presents the results of theoretical and scientific research of the ways of application of basic theoretical and methodological concepts formed in the field of tolerance research by developers and followers of liberal philosophical direction through integration of these ideas into the dimensions of modern inclusive education. Describes and analyses the problems of formation and development of the phenomenon of tolerance in the paradigm of the liberal philosophical direction. The range of these studies is focused on current trends in tolerance in the context of development of the collective consciousness of a civil society. The attempt is made to make distinctions between the definitions of "tolerance" and "indulgence". The current tendencies of tolerance in the context of formation of the state system on democratic principles, based on the need for peaceful and legal resolution of conflicts, understanding and realization of civil liberties of individuals and various social groups, avoidance of discrimination and civil society development are studied and updated. The internal contradictory nature of tolerance is argued, through the following provisions: unlimited indulgence leads to the disappearance of indulgence; tolerant do not tolerate the intolerable, tolerance combines ideas and interests that contradict each other. Particular attention is paid to revealing of prospects for development of inclusion in the modern educational environment as one of the main components of formation of an active tolerant position in a society. The list of necessary competences which provide comfortable interaction of norm-typical children with children with possible educational needs is resulted. Some criteria for manifestation of an active tolerant attitude to inclusion in the general educational environment are proposed. Given the complexity and multifaceted nature of the phenomenon of tolerance, the main purpose of the study was to clarify the main ideas of the liberal philosophy of the concept of tolerance, as well as to identify the prospects for inclusion as a separate manifestation of tolerance in education. To achieve this goal the following tasks were implemented: specifying the essential parameters of the definition of "tolerance"; outlining the problem field of tolerance research in liberal philosophical discourse; study of vectors of integration of the philosophical continuum of tolerance to the measurement of the modern space of inclusive education. The objectivity of the theoretical analysis of the obtained results is taken into account and observed through the use of general scientific research methods, which are represented by the following system: historical and logical method - to study the formation of the concept of tolerance in liberal philosophical thought; system approach - to identify contradictions in the internal mechanisms of the phenomenon of tolerance and approach to understanding their interaction; comparison and systematization to make distinctions between the definitions of "tolerance" and "indulgence"; abstraction and generalization - to highlight the phenomenon of tolerance as an active position of the subjects of the pedagogical process in the terms of inclusion; analysis and synthesis - to study the specifics of tolerance in the context of an inclusive educational environment and the integration of indicators of "tolerance in action" in the framework of the worldview dimension of a modern society.
