The Righteous Mind

Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
Book • 2013
In this book, Jonathan Haidt draws on twenty-five years of research on moral psychology to explain why people's moral judgments are driven by intuition rather than reason.

He introduces the Moral Foundations Theory, which posits that human morality is based on six foundations: care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, sanctity/degradation, and liberty/oppression.

Haidt argues that liberals tend to focus on the care/harm and fairness/cheating foundations, while conservatives draw on all six.

The book also explores how morality binds and blinds people, leading to social cohesion but also to conflicts.

Haidt aims to promote understanding and civility by highlighting the commonalities and differences in moral intuitions across political spectra.
