Summary/Abstract |
Why can't our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.His starting point is moral intuition--the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do.
