Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 bestselling author of The Anxious Generation and acclaimed social psychologist challenges conventional thinking about morality, politics, and religion in a way that speaks to conservatives and liberals alike—a “landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself” (The New York Times Book Review).

Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, Jonathan Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns.

In this subtle yet accessible book, Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation, as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind.

Ein unglaublich kluges und gleichermaßen witzig-kluges Sachbuch, welches verdeutlicht, dass politische Grabenkämpfe und die grassierende extreme Polarisierung prinzipiell menschenuntypisch sind. Die (politische) Wahrheit lässt sich laut dem Autor doch zumeist in der Mitte finden.

Ich stimme vielen Argumenten und Gedankengängen des Buches zu, bin mir jedoch unsicher inwiefern ich der These zustimmen kann, dass wir häufiger der politischen Gegenseite begegnen und deren Argumente auf ihre Richtigkeit überprüfen sollten. Bei mancherlei Parteien und Politiker*innen sehe ich dafür wirklich keine Grundlage dafür.

This is a really interesting read. I think it explain well, why people are divided by politics and religion. I think, it really helps to understand the "other side"... to see a little more grey and less black/ white. We probably all need this right now.
