ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt explores the fundamental question of why people often find it so difficult to agree on moral and political issues. The book delves into the psychological origins of our moral judgments, arguing that intuitions play a primary role, with reasoning often serving to justify pre-existing feelings. Haidt introduces the concept of moral foundations, suggesting that morality is built upon several innate principles beyond harm and fairness, which different cultures and political groups prioritize differently. Ultimately, the book examines how these varying moral perspectives contribute to the divisions we see in society and offers insights into why finding common ground can be so challenging.
