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.

评分非常幸运地读到了道德心理学教授Jonathan Haidt的这本书《The Righteous Mind》,纽约书评说这本书“对人类认识自己有着里程碑意义的贡献”。它讨论的恰恰是我一直思考的问题:社会的伦理道德是什么,它从何而来,它的范围是什么?虽然这都是很抽象的问题,但我们现实生活中太...
评分一 我竟然读过Haidt的另外一本书,叫the Happiness Hypothesis(《象与骑象人》)。那是几年前读的了,我现在已经不记得里面说了什么。Haidt说,当初他写这本the Happiness Hypothesis,还认同古代哲人的智慧,如Buddha和斯多葛派,认为你无法改变外在的世界,你只能改变你自己...

“Anyone who values truth should stop worshipping reason.” “People bind themselves into political teams that share moral narratives. Once they accept a particular narrative, they become blind to alternative moral worlds.”
评分eye-opening and provocative
评分三個核心理念:好惡,先有直覺,再有論證;人性,既有自私,也有「群私」;道德,一邊約束,一邊障目。用進化生物學的理論提出道德和宗教來由的假說,這部分我只能「呵呵」,但對於人性(無法完全理性)的論述,以及道德的六個根基/維度,這些思考卻是蠻開腦洞的。作者作為無神論、崇尚自由的左派人士,真誠良善地願意站到光譜另一極思考,的確是為數不多的開明之士,放在當今撕裂的社會,相當抵讚。四星。
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。
