ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them by Joshua Greene explores the fundamental challenges of morality arising from our tribal nature. The book delves into the "Tragedy of Commonsense Morality," where our evolved moral instincts, effective within groups, often clash when different groups with distinct moral codes interact. Greene investigates the psychological and neurological underpinnings of our moral judgments, examining how our brains process moral dilemmas. He analyzes the structure of modern moral problems and contrasts them with those our brains were designed to solve. Ultimately, the book seeks to understand these divisions and propose a path towards a universal moral philosophy that can bridge the gap between different "moral tribes".
