Johathan Haidt is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business. He is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom. He lives in New York City.
Why can’t our political leaders work together as threats loom and problems mount? Why do people so readily assume the worst about the motives of their fellow citizens? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding.
His starting point is moral intuition—the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right. He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain, and he explains why conservatives can navigate that map more skillfully than can liberals. He then examines the origins of morality, overturning the view that evolution made us fundamentally selfish creatures. But rather than arguing that we are innately altruistic, he makes a more subtle claim—that we are fundamentally groupish. It is our groupishness, he explains, that leads to our greatest joys, our religious divisions, and our political affiliations. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation.
“我们注定得生活在这里,却为什么不能好好相处?”这是美国黑人Rodney King在遭到4名洛杉矶警察殴打1年后对媒体发出的一句家喻户晓的呼吁,也是作者在开篇提出的一个问题。 我们日常生活和工作中也经常碰到类似的困境。为什么夫妻会因为一些所谓“小事和琐事”大吵一...
评分去年曾在某个场合与海特教授聊过几句,简单说,他谦和、绅士、睿智、开放,满足个人对于大神的一切想象。 与国内多数心理学者专注象牙塔不同,海特在更广泛的社会主题及领域上所做的努力和取得的影响力令人印象深刻。他的多次TED talks,在2011年SPSP上的演讲,及这几本专著,...
评分 评分(一) 本书属于心理学的书,也被归于哲学类书。这种分类方式是很有意思。心理学的结论应该是事实判断。而正义不是事实判断,是道德判断。 本书的结论是骑象人之喻:是非之心来源于感情,而理性是为感情寻找理由。即人类在判断是非是,由感性给出结论,再由理性为什么是这个结...
评分正义与情感 有一家人养了一条狗,有一天狗出车祸被撞死了。他们家人听说狗肉很好吃,就把狗做了吃了。 一个男人从超市买了只活鸡回家,跟鸡发生了性关系,然后把鸡做了吃了。整个过程没有任何其他人看到,没有伤害任何人。 一个女人家里有面很旧的国旗,她不想要了可是也不...
eye-opening and provocative
评分非常有意思。从进化的观点说明为什么人们更容易先有moral judgement,然后stategic reasoning。先入为主的moral judgement确实能够给决策树剪枝,把很多明显psychopath的选项先排除掉了;人们判断感情亲疏不是一个人为参照,而是以自己认为所属的群体为参照;conservative对liberal的设想与实际情况不多,但是liberal对conservative有不小的误解;现实让人心灰意冷,但是认清现实才有勇气。何况所有这些都有进化作祟,而且以group为单位的文化和基因进化的速度其实非常快,谁知道未来会怎么样呢。
评分作者从心理学角度说左右的政治取向,没有问题。但和稀泥的地方是,作者各打五十大板以示平衡。就算在心理学和道德上,左和右各有道理,但现实政治要以实际效用为衡量基准,从这个角度讲,右远胜于左。
评分脑洞大开!
