ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Righteous Mind” by Jonathan Haidt explores the psychology of morality and its impact on politics and society. Haidt examines how humans make moral judgments, arguing that intuition, rather than reason, plays the primary role in shaping our beliefs. He delves into the moral foundations that differ between liberals and conservatives, emphasizing how groupishness and moral narratives influence political divisions. The book uses insights from moral psychology, evolutionary theory, and cultural analysis to explain why people are so often divided by politics and religion, and suggests ways to foster understanding across ideological divides.
