About this ebook

As America descends deeper into polarization and paralysis, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt has done the seemingly impossible—he has explained the origins of morality, politics, and religion in a way that speaks to everyone on the political spectrum.
 
Drawing on twenty-five years of groundbreaking research, Haidt shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and why we need the insights of each if we are to flourish as a nation. Here is the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation and the eternal curse of moralistic aggression, across the political divide and around the world.

This is by far the weakest part of Haidt's 2012 tour de force book. The translation of "is" (humans have similar moral pillars but different ways of satisfying them) to "ought" (can't ideologies disagree more constructively?) is, in effect, peak Liberalism, and downright prescient of Haidt's later output. Every year, this part of his book rings more and more hollow.
