Spanish term

sin cuya actitud

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy
Por lo tanto, la responsabilidad es subyacente a las actitudes interculturales. De otra parte, la tolerancia debe ser entendida como “la actitud de comprensión frente a las opiniones contrarias en las relaciones interindividuales, sin cuya actitud se hace imposible dichas relaciones.

without which (attitude)

You can say it either with or without "attitude", although leaving it in makes it more explicit.

"an attitude of understanding when dealing with opposing views in interpersonal relationships, without which (attitude) those relationships become impossible"

Thanks, David.
agree Charles Davis : This construction is archaic in peninsular Spanish. The Academy recommends avoiding it( http://lema.rae.es/dpd/?key=cuyo point 5), but I like it; it sounds 17th-18th century. // It's probably still standard in LAm. This quite often happens.

Thanks, Charles, nice reference, I wasn't aware that the construction is archaic. I'm not sure why, but it seems quite familiar to me.//Yes, I suppose that sort of thing happens in English too.
agree neilmac : "...without which these/such relationships would be impossible."

Thank you, Francois. What are you assuming "whose" refers to? "Whose" is a possessive determiner, yet here, "cuyo" is being used as a relative determiner, synonymous with "la cual". See Charles' link above.

withouit whose attitude

the attitude in question is tolerance

Spanish preposition + cuyo (a) = English preposition + whose.
This is a grammar rule I was taught in High School.

Tolerance (...) without whose attitude the aforementioned relations are imopossible

Erratum: WITHOUT instead of 'withouit'
Peer comment(s):

disagree Robert Carter : No, that's completely wrong. It's not possessive. It's saying that tolerance is an attitude, not that it has an attitude.
