without which (attitude)
Explanation:

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.

disagree  Francois Boye: without WHOSE attitude
22 hrs
  -> 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


Explanation:
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

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.
