Moral Tribes Emotion Reason And The Gap Between Us And Them

Joshua Greene's "Moral Tribes" delves into the complexities of moral judgment, exploring the interplay between emotional responses and conscious reasoning.

Greene examines how our brains make moral decisions, influenced by both automatic intuitions and deliberate thought processes.

He uses the concept of 'moral tribes' to illustrate how our moral judgments are often shaped by our group affiliations and biases.

The book challenges readers to consider how these biases affect our interactions and proposes strategies for bridging divides.

Ultimately, Greene advocates for a more nuanced and cooperative approach to moral decision-making, emphasizing the importance of understanding and respecting diverse perspectives.
