The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
🛒 Purchase Options
📝 Description
Written by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, 'The Righteous Mind' explores the psychological and evolutionary origins of moral and political divisions. Haidt introduces Moral Foundations Theory, which posits that human morality is built upon a few innate and universal moral 'foundations' (like care, fairness, loyalty, authority, sanctity, and liberty). He uses various thought experiments, including the 'incest scenario,' to illustrate how people often arrive at moral judgments intuitively and then rationalize them, rather than through pure reason.

🤖 Why This Product Was Mentioned
"The speaker referenced an example from 'Jonathan Haidt's book' about a 'consequence-free incest scenario' used to test people's moral foundations, even when their stated moral theories (like consequentialism) would not condemn it. This specific example is famously discussed in 'The Righteous Mind,' making it the most relevant book by Haidt in this context."
