In “The Righteous Mind,” Haidt argues that people’s moral judgments are influenced by a combination of intuitive, emotional, and rational processes. Drawing on research from psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience, he identifies six fundamental moral principles—care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, sanctity/degradation, and liberty/oppression—that are common to all human societies but are weighted differently across cultures and individuals.
“The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion” is a non-fiction book written by Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist and professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Published in 2012, the book explores the psychological and moral foundations that shape people’s political and religious beliefs, as well as the reasons behind the polarization and divisiveness in contemporary society.
