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. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain, and he explains why conservatives can navigate that map more skillfully than can liberals. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim—that we are fundamentally groupish. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation.
Johathan Haidt is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom. He lives in New York City.

评分“我们注定得生活在这里,却为什么不能好好相处?”这是美国黑人Rodney King在遭到4名洛杉矶警察殴打1年后对媒体发出的一句家喻户晓的呼吁,也是作者在开篇提出的一个问题。 我们日常生活和工作中也经常碰到类似的困境。为什么夫妻会因为一些所谓“小事和琐事”大吵一...
评分非常幸运地读到了道德心理学教授Jonathan Haidt的这本书《The Righteous Mind》,纽约书评说这本书“对人类认识自己有着里程碑意义的贡献”。它讨论的恰恰是我一直思考的问题:社会的伦理道德是什么,它从何而来,它的范围是什么?虽然这都是很抽象的问题,但我们现实生活中太...

评分一 我竟然读过Haidt的另外一本书,叫the Happiness Hypothesis(《象与骑象人》)。那是几年前读的了,我现在已经不记得里面说了什么。Haidt说,当初他写这本the Happiness Hypothesis,还认同古代哲人的智慧,如Buddha和斯多葛派,认为你无法改变外在的世界,你只能改变你自己...
Sexist + 伪科学 + 伪装成客观评价但是在用词上各种暗示
评分“Anyone who values truth should stop worshipping reason.” “People bind themselves into political teams that share moral narratives. Once they accept a particular narrative, they become blind to alternative moral worlds.”
评分Do you need to be so long-winded in order to "talk to the elephant"? Liberal - harm/care, fairness, liberation/oppression. Republicans plus authority, sanctity, loyalty
评分对于自由派和保守派的分析还有宗教的分析都十分的有趣。
评分脑洞大开!
