In March we will be discussing The Righteous Mind (2012) by Jonathan Haidt, which The New York Times Book Review called a “landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself”.

Here is the publisher’s synopsis:

Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, social psychologist 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.
