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.

Pitkäveteinen loppua kohden, mutta alussa popularisoi hienosti jenkkikontekstissa kilpailevien poliittisten maailmankuvien eroja.

Not perfect, the author presents his view on moral psychology, drawing a path along dots of scientific evidence. Worth looking past a certain arrogance, to find a possible explanation for the psychological origin of Western left-right polarization.

Excellent and highly ambitious book. Gives tools for understanding the reason for division. Maybe helps liberals sligtly more than conservatives. But absolutely wortwile read whatever one’s moral/political/ideological standing might be.

Kyyninen kirja Haidtin käsityksistä ihmisyyttä koskien. On myös hyvyyteen ja rehellisyyteen pyrkiviä ihmisiä. Olisi kiinnostavaa tietää, miksi jotkut meistä jaksavat toimia hienosti vaikeissakin oloissa, mutta positiivista ihmisyyttä ei tässä kirjassa mietitä.Haidt tuntuu melkein vahingoniloiselta "paljastaessaan" miten loputtomasti ihmset pettävät itseään. Luulisi sen surettavan häntä, jos hän oikeasti haluaa hyvää ihmiskunnalle.Pidän paljon Haidtin "Coddling of American Mind" ja luin sen kahteen kertaan. Tätä en jaksa lukea lievästi ylimielisen asenteen takia. Ihan kiinnostavia tutkimuksia ja teorioita esitellään tekstissä välillä.
