About this book
Why do decent, intelligent people end up on opposite sides of political and religious divides? Drawing on decades of research in moral psychology and fieldwork across cultures, Jonathan Haidt argues that moral judgement is largely intuitive, with reasoning arriving afterwards to justify what we already feel. He maps six moral foundations that different groups weigh differently, explains how groupishness both binds and blinds us, and builds a careful, evidence-led case for understanding opponents rather than defeating them. Clearly structured, full of memorable experiments and vivid metaphors, it is argument-driven nonfiction that rewards reading in short, self-contained stretches.
